When you create stuff, you're always going to be progressing and where you're at a year down the line, as the creator, it's always going to feel immature.

Why, oh why must we let ourselves forget these lasting treasures in an age of consuming ambition, speed madness and accumulated goods that leave us no chance to live? If we cannot be contented with a little no wealth will ever satisfy us.
Helen Keller
