TUP_WIP Project

시작합니다.


Perfectionism. The one who does everything and yet cannot finish anything. Why can't you stick to one thing? Are you starting a new project again? What about the other things? Just be productive. Why can't you be someone else?


Have you ever heard these cruel words in one way or another? Or, are they something you use to talk yourself down? Everyone seems to have it all together. Even on YouTube, you see waves of people who seem to have their lives perfectly figured out. So we make up our mind, starting a new project: "I'd better get a gym membership. I should study as well. Should I learn more programming? Maybe video editing? People are talking about stocks and retirement plans. I'm so tired, though, from my own reality!"


This cycle of thought has become fixated, functioning like an automated algorithm. Please don't tell me I'm the only one going through these Sisyphean ordeals.

And then, I finally became sick of this.


Even when I don't finish or complete my projects, even if they seem far from perfect... The resolution that got me to start the project, the time and energy that I put in with my heart, even for a brief amount of time—shouldn't all of that be celebrated?

That's why I started this project. Let's create a space where we can celebrate and appreciate unfinished projects and our work in progress, which might never be finished.
