When was the last time that you felt that feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing something yourself?
In this time of mass-produced genericness, doing something yourself makes the “thing” a little more personal.
My latest one was drinking a glass of kombucha that I made myself.
While this first attempt turned out good, I am sure the inspiration to make more would have still been there even if it didn’t.
The added plus is that I am no longer confined to drinking the kombucha flavours that other people think I should drink.
And this is the ultimate bonus of DIY.
The freedom to create things how you want them to be.
