the problem with Making Things is that you start out assuming that everything is too hard or complicated or requires lots of equipment and so there’s all these reasons that you can’t do it but then you start looking into it and it’s like … no … this process isn’t actually that complicated … these tools aren’t that difficult to come by … you could totally Make That Thing
and from that moment on you will never know peace
#arts and crafts#ohhhhhh yeah#BEEN THERE#the thing is though that you also need to attain the wisdom to ask yourself#''i can make that... but WILL i?''#listen i know the absolute satisfaction of deciding to learn to Do A Thing#but over time i've come to know myself and sometimes i think#yeah i could do that#but i know that i won't#(because of time or space or access to materials or money or a combo of all of those)#and it's times like those that i'm okay with paying someone else to do it (a fair price!)#(and of course if i can afford it)#that's not always giving up#sometimes it's just postponing doing it
