To the outside observer, it might appear that you aren't accomplishing much with a personal project. In fact, dear Moonchild, friends or loved ones might be telling you that you are wasting your time and that there are other, much better things you could be doing instead. However, those observers don't know how much good this is doing for you, what you are learning, or how you are growing and sharpening your talents. Tune out any negative comments and go all in. Soon enough you will have validation.
