I majored in it and actively work as an actuary, so I'd like to think so. Though at the higher theoretical levels my interest (and thus aptitude) fades--algebraic topology comes to mind.
Here's a recent video I watched on modular forms by the man who wrote the one sentence proof of Fermat's theorem on the sum of two squares. Maybe I'm not so good after all... the guy is a beast.

Woefully poor at it. I still struggle with even long multiplication or division.
But I try extremely hard.'One of (Lucas) Cranach's masterpieces, discussed by (Joseph) Koerner, is in it's self-referentiality the perfect expression of left-hemisphere emptiness and a precursor of post-modernism. There is no longer anything to point to beyond, nothing Other, so it points pointlessly to itself.' - Iain McGilChrist
Suppose a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?"
"Suppose it didn't," said Pooh, after careful thought.
Piglet was comforted by this.

I couldn't solve you a math problem, but I could probably write you a story (after research of course) about a man/woman who is good at math.
Always forward, never back!
"I always love talking to people and hearing their story. People always have a good life story to tell ya know?"
Today is the beginning, and tomorrow is the beginning of everything else.
March on, life's too grand to let things get you down for long. It's a beautiful place and we're so blessed to be here.
I am a person of fortune and I must seek my fortune.
