People are taking Steem sometimes far too seriously, but I do understand that people want to do their best and bring top quality on the platform. However, sometimes it's better not to do that.

I've been doing a lot of photography posts and when I'm making those, I tend to choose the best shots I've got. But in the end, there are plenty of wonderful photographers around and you can't compete with quality. In addition to that, if everyone tries to do only the very best, someone always might feel they need to be perfect to be successful.

This birdhouse wasn't anything I hoped it to be, but in the end, it's still a successful one. The bird can live and have a family there, even though I might have imagined it to look a bit different.

Hopefully I'll be posting some birdhouse photos next year - maybe having the birdhouse beautifully decorated, as you said :)

Thanks for your comment!
