So, the goal becomes ensuring that you are satisfied with what you have done. Because that's what should truly matter.

I have seen you do some genuinely incredible work in your career. From the quality of content to the community you've formed.

You've done well. You can take pride in that.

If it helps, you're preaching to the choir. Everyone wants their work to be recognized, and often, it is, quietly, as others have work that needs to be done as well. One of those "if a tree falls in the woods" kinda situations. It's there, but people may not comment on it or see it happen.

So yeah, this is part of the reason there haven't been any streams recently. I've been a bit busy with the whole creating and testing a new building system-thing

This thing is really cool, but it's also unbearably funny to see it flop around.

I'd say "maybe I should just start a blog" but I realize I can't even keep this active. There's no way it'd work.
I'm not sure if any of this makes sense. And I don't mean to sound ungrateful for what I have. But this has been stuck in my head for some time now.

It may very well be something that never happens, as not only do communities change with time, but so will I. It's a constant effort.

And while I have joined several lovely communities and enjoyed my time in them, I'm unsure if I've found anywhere where I truly feel I belong. I understand that it takes time, effort, and a lot of trial and error.

I understand that creating a community is a much greater commitment than I am currently able to accept, given my full-time work and school responsibilities. Now simply is not the correct time to attempt such a feat.

I know what I enjoy, but I would like to create more things that others would enjoy as well. Broaden my horizons by sharing and adapting ideas, regardless of their nature.

I *think* I know where I want to start? Being the KO AOZ kits, but that'll also involve 3D printing things. And I need to figure out where I'm going to put that beast once it's done...
