You don’t have to do things perfectly for them to be meaningful and worthwhile. Whatever you manage to do or create is wonderful and important and worth sharing because it came from you. It’s a piece of your soul and an expression of your spirit, and no matter how well it’s done, it’s valuable. ↗

Yuki: And that revolting thought process of yours pisses me off. ↗
