Can I live with this discrepancy between imagination and reality? Or, to paraphrase Patchett, If I can’t create the thing I dream of, can I at least create the thing I’m capable of making?
It is something like don’t be disappointed with yourself. Be patient ‘bout what you can do and don’t stress more about what you want to do. No dissonance between what you can actually do and what you want to do. Understand your reality and rest assured about it.
