Reframe Not Being Good Enough at a Hobby You Love

You love the hobby but the sense you will never be properly good at it is leaking the joy out. This prompt unpicks the assumption that enjoyment depends on being good, shows what mastery actually looks like for amateurs versus professionals, and offers a kinder frame. For when comparison is spoiling something you used to do for fun.
