i love the honesty of this post @polebird - its sort of a behind the scenes and shows the hiccups along the way. i love mistakes because thats how i learn! but also they can be frustrating in the moment ;p

as a natural creative person and designer/maker/tinkerer, i often find myself in DIY situations when the DIY-ing was way more expensive or complicated than having someone do it for me. but its a process of learning. nobody was a rocket scientist overnight! literally Elon Musk has blown up several entire rockets trying to get them to land, and just last week landed two giant booster rockets in unison to be relaunched some time in the future - and it was one of the most beautiful things ive ever seen.
