What I wish I knew before trying sketch on a budget
My current rule is simple: if it takes less than 3 minutes to prepare, I am much more likely to keep doing it.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. The social part surprised me too.

Honestly, great taste. The social part surprised me too. The texture and mood are lovely.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The Cape Town example makes it feel concrete.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I used to overcomplicate this constantly.

I wish more posts had this much context. The useful part is easy to underestimate.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 8 months. This pairs weirdly well with arepas.
