I can appreciate that. I can often be a perfectionist in some things, and when I can see I'm doing badly I get unhappy.
That said I started attending a pottery-class at local school a couple of years ago. Objectively almost everything I've made has been terrible. And yet? I'm drinking coffee out of a mug I made myself, and that feels pretty good.
It's unusual for me to both recognize that I'm "bad", and yet still want to go back. But definitely true in this case.

It was also extremely satisfying over a few years of off and on spinning to gain the vocabulary to describe why my work was bad. Making 1-2 beautiful (but still flawed) dishes was worth hundreds of mediocre projects.
