Reddit, what do you need to get off your chest?

Here's something you can do that might make you feel a bit better...

Make something with your hands.

Doesn't have to be anything fancy, doesn't have to be made of anything specific, just make something. If you don't know how to do it, you can teach yourself. There's a vast amount of information at your fingertips, so why not use it?

make a box out of wood, make a metal sculpture, hell, fold up a piece of paper into a swan, learn calligraphy, carve a bar of soap or a piece of fruit, weave a basket, learn knitting or crocheting . Just CREATE something!

Mistakes? hell with 'em. "Mistake" to me translates to "learning experience" (or in the great Bob Ross' words, "happy accident"). Turn that mistake into a feature if you can and in the future, try not to repeat it.

Take pride in your work, make something beautiful, do it as well as you can, look at it when it's done (Which is also at your discretion), and go "damn, I made that with nothing but my wits and my mitts." The cool thing is that you can take your sweet, sweet time doing it, too.

It's the best feeling in the world when you see someone else admire what you've done.
