This post was originally written as a draft a couple of years ago after someone in my life (accidentally) pissed me off by requesting I should make them a sweater just because. I say accidentally because I want to give them grace for not understanding what goes into making a sweater, as they don’t knit themself.

Several people seem to think that me having the skill to make my own clothes somehow makes them entitled to that as well. Well, I hope you have years of time and patience to learn because that’s what it took me to be at the current level. This is the price I pay for having exactly the items I want; it takes time, effort, patience and some knowledge. If you want to borrow my skills to have something, your responsibility is to compensate accordingly.

And as we live in the age of “mandatory disclaimers”, here’s one for you. None of these are telling how anyone else should be or behave. These are structures for me to stay happier and healthier both physically and mentally. If they offend you, that’s your shadow work to do, not mine. 

If you’re somehow offended that I’m once again going on and on about gym and working out, you don’t have to be here. I won’t know if you read this or not. But please use your time on something that brings you joy rather than hate-reading this. 

For the rest of you, let's get further!
