It doesn’t have to be perfect.
It doesn’t have to be practical.
It doesn’t have to be useful or monetizable.
It doesn’t have to be spectacular, extraordinary, or even original.
Make stuff because you want to. Simply for the joy of making it.
(This is mostly a reminder to myself, to banish all these intrusive self-criticisms. But maybe you need it too.)

Thanks for saying what I have been feeling for a long time.
I like to fix things, it make me feel good and that is all that it takes to make me want to do it again.
Plus I collect tools:-)
When was the last time you spent 50$ in tools to fix a 20$ item:-)

As many programs are cut from US schools, people are forgetting how to be creative and make art or music. It's good to create things just for ourselves, and to learn how to do things. It's not a waste of time. It's the purpose of being human. The capitalism teaches people that only what you can sell has value. Capitalism is perverse.
@gregly Thanks for the motivation bud, really needed it 🥹
