I like to create things. For me, its a nice feedback loop of positive feeling throughout the process.
I get to learn new skills in order to complete the thing I'm trying to make. At the end of the day, I get to feel good that I learned something new.
I get to work with my hands and throughout the process, I get to see the progress I have made. At the end of the week, I get to hold the thing as its coming along and feel good about the progress I'm making.
At the end of the month / few months when I'm done with the build, I get to feel accomplished as I have overcome the challenges along the way, and I have a finished "thing"
For the foreseeable time after, each time I use the thing I made, I get a little boost of positivity, because I get to think to myself "yeah! I made this!"
It also allows me to be social by sharing the thing I have made with other makers online, or I can help them with their projects by sharing knowledge I have accumulated.
