You donβt have to cut yourself off from expectations, you just also donβt have to expect perfection and punish yourself for anything less
Okay, you had a plan. And your creation doesnβt match it. Your imagination doesnβt have to deal with physical dimensions and the limitations of hands, though, so you probably got pretty close within reason and you definitely got WAY closer than if you didnβt start.
Of course you expect something but itβs up to you what those expectations are.
You expected to create something perfect and you didnβt,
You expected to create something enjoyable and worth spending time on and you did.
Theyβre the same picture
