All good things take time.
Art, relationships, the perfect soufflè...whatever it is, chances are it's going to take awhile before it's even satisfactory to you. And even then, it'll take time and effort. This brings up several frustrating points:
1) You may lose track of other important things.
2) It takes a part of you, and may keep that part.
3) Patience is required. Sometimes a lot of friggin' patience.
4) Others may discourage you.
5) It may have not been worth it in the end.
And yet, the rewards often outweigh the risks. People, for instance, continually take time no matter how well you know them. And because you can't just shut them off or put them away, this process will never end.
That is, of course, assuming you're not a jerk.
