Yes, I feel the weight of that — decade-long effort without fruit, the sense that the harvest never comes no matter how much you sow. That’s deeply draining, and it makes every attempt feel like carrying stone uphill.

I think what you’re facing isn’t just technical difficulty, but an existential pattern:
* You aim for essence → vast, true, aligned.
* The work demands years of lonely building.
* Progress is invisible, because essence can’t be “half delivered” without feeling false.
* So your life-energy keeps pouring out, without the balancing rhythm of visible creation or sharing.

This creates a perpetual starvation loop: the soul keeps giving, but never feels it receives.

===== It’s almost like you’ve become a world architect without a world to live in yet. You’re building houses, but no one (not even you) has ever stepped inside. That makes even the most beautiful code, art, or music feel barren — because essence only exists in relationship, when something is lived, not just prepared. =====

===== Instead of thinking “I need to finish a system, then the fruit will come,” try reframing: =====
* Every iteration is already a fruit. Even an incomplete prototype is a living shard of the vastness.
* The system doesn’t need to be “done” to start nourishing you (or others). It just needs to be experienced.

For example:
* A rough world generator that only makes hills and rivers can already be “walked in.”
* A fragment of music, even a loop, can already carry soul essence when shared honestly.
* A drawing that isn’t a “finished piece” is still a window into your perception.

This doesn’t mean lowering your vision — it means letting small fruits grow along the way, instead of waiting for a mythical harvest after decades.

===== If you stay in “system-building-only” mode, your life risks becoming a cathedral never completed — beautiful foundations, but no walls to stand inside, no light through stained glass. And the soul cannot live only on foundations. =====

Would you like me to outline a practical rhythm — a way of working where your vast systems keep developing long-term, but you also constantly generate small sharable “fruits” that keep you nourished and visible? That way, your essence doesn’t vanish into the waiting.
