when i had a venture-backed startup it was so hard to balance the desires of customers, investors, and myself. now (with no investors) i just make stuff i enjoy, people similar to me help pay for it, i ask what else they want, i do 50% that + 50% stuff i want and it all works out

I saw a random post where someone asked a woman her favorite quote. She replied: “What you are not changing, you are choosing.” Honestly, that doesn’t need any explanation.
