Why is it easier to be proud of something you’re absolutely no good at than it is to be proud of something you are actually good at?
Today, with writing money, I bought a sewing machine and made a skirt. It’s pretty crap, but whatever, I love it.

Because when we’re actually good at something we have a better perspective on just how much better it could be, and we get depressed over falling short. When we suck at something, accomplishing it at all is a pretty big achievement.
Anyway, that’s pretty kickass.
