Such an honest and encouraging post. It shows how a single curiosity, a fun project can become a livelihood for someone or many people.
He has made his curiosity take direction and kindled it with consistency.
He also without shame and guilt admits the truth about maintaining a project or even working at something for quite a few years or even half a decade. Commendable spirit.
First let’s not pretend that it always feels fun and thrilling. Sometimes it actually feels a bit boring and done. There is no shame in that and it is not strange or odd. Such periods come and go. When they come, I might do less curl for a while. Or maybe find a corner of the project that is not important but could be fun to poke at. I have learned that these periods come and go.
