Day 3: Building with Love (and a Few Glitches)

Today was one of those long, challenging days—the kind where you sit down to fix one thing, only to discover a dozen other little quirks that need your attention. The website decided to test me with a few bugs and glitches, reminding me that building something from the ground up always takes more time than we expect.

There was also the joy (and occasional frustration) of some tedious production work. While it would be nice to automate everything, sometimes the best lessons come from doing things manually. It’s all part of the process, and I know this effort will make future projects smoother. Every hour spent today (14 hours, but who’s counting?) is an investment in getting things right from the start.

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and feel overwhelmed, but I remind myself—this journey is about building something I love, something that can bring joy to others. Every step, even the tough ones, is a learning experience, helping me shape a better path for what’s to come. So here’s to the long days and the lessons that come with them. I’ll keep refining, keep improving, and, most importantly, keep showing up with love for this little corner of the world we’re creating.
