Should I Keep Going Even If It’s Not Fun?

Not every project needs to be finished—and that’s what I realized while making this resin vase. I set out to experiment with molding resin to look like molten glass, creating a unique, flowing form. Along the way, I learned some really cool techniques, built a custom wooden stand, and explored new ways to shape resin. But somewhere in the process, the excitement faded.

This video isn’t just about making—it’s about knowing when to walk away. I struggled with the Sunk Cost Fallacy, that feeling of needing to finish something just because I’ve already put time into it. But creativity isn’t just about completion—it’s about growth. And sometimes, moving on is the best decision you can make.
