In defense of abandoning unfinished projects

I tried diamond painting for the first time… and it almost broke me. What started as a cute beginner experiment quickly became a cinematic monologue short film about patience, perseverance, and the surprising depth of creative exploration. From tiny coasters to a massive Van Gogh kit, this project became a creative documentary of process, struggle, and discovery, showing that even the smallest pieces can add up to something meaningful. ➮ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro 0:28 - How Hard Could It Be? 2:38 - Reality Bites 5:56 - Patience, Grasshopper 7:24 - The Long game ➮ ITEMS MENTIONED Cat coasters - https://amzn.to/466nH0S ➮ GEAR I USE Camera: https://amzn.to/3XCOwWQ Lens: https://amzn.to/470uTNQ Microphone: https://amzn.to/4izzCIW Lighting: https://amzn.to/43xQhs3 Smart Color-Changing Bulbs: https://amzn.to/4kGVdB2 Color graded with Dehancer → https://www.dehancer.com Use promo code JULIANASEKAI for a 10% off discount at checkout!
