Not every build is meant to last forever. I used to cling to finished models, afraid of losing something great. But I’ve learned that sometimes, the real magic happens after you take it apart.
Letting Go on Purpose
There was a castle I poured weeks into—complex walls, hidden chambers, the works. And one day, I dismantled the whole thing. Not out of frustration, but because I knew I could do better. That decision opened the door to a better version, with stronger structure and more thoughtful detail.
What I Gained from the Rebuild
Starting over helped me spot weak spots I hadn’t noticed before. I became more deliberate with each piece. I built with purpose, not just enthusiasm. And what came next wasn’t just a rebuild—it was a level-up.
Embracing Iteration
Now I welcome the break-and-rebuild cycle. My journal is full of sketches, tweaks, and ideas born from the ruins of yesterday’s creations. Destruction isn’t the end—it’s the start of something better.
