This applies to so many things! Your first two inches of knitting/crocheting look like fuck-all. Your pile of fabric pieces look like fuck-all. Your first two paragraphs look like fuck-all. Your first nursing class looks like-fuck all. Keep doing the thing until you finish the thing!
It’s important to keep your own hobbies, and social life outside of your relationship. People tend to let go everything, and lose themselves when they become committed to someone. You were your own person before them, so keep it that way. Being independent, and your own individual person is key in keeping a healthy relationship.
