The first try of anything is a unique and unrepeatable moment, filled with a raw and potent energy. It is a leap into the unknown, untempered by the experience of past successes or failures. There is a special kind of honesty in that initial attempt, a pure expression of intent before self-doubt or over-analysis can set in. The first try is often where the most genuine creativity emerges, driven by necessity and a fundamental desire to simply begin. It represents the courage to start, which is often the most difficult part of any endeavor.
I like making because it is an active process of bringing something new into existence from thought or raw materials. It is a deeply satisfying act of problem-solving and expression, where challenges are met with creativity and persistence. The act of making provides a tangible connection to my own capabilities, turning abstract ideas into concrete reality. There is a profound sense of accomplishment in seeing a project through from a mere concept to a finished object or solution. This process is not just about the final product, but about the growth and learning that happens along the way.
