It doesn’t matter what the project is; it matters that it is.

You don’t need to know where it’s going to lead. For that matter, it doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Nothing ever has to come of it. It’s ok if this project never even exists, as far as anyone else is concerned. Failure isn’t failure; it’s part of the process. It’s done when you’re done with it.

So whatever your side project is: I encourage you to pick it up, and let that part of you exist (again).
