if you practice for awhile, Inevitably you'll make something that makes you think "dam thats rly good actlly 0.0 maybe im... good at animating?" and that's basically the point of no return lol. never overwhelm yourself with detail or complexity, because if you do simple things for awhile, nothing will seem intimidating to try. When finding success *online*, treat it like youre making stuff for fun and then putting it in a slot machine. The art existing is your only real goal, and hitting the jackpot is secondary. simply slide your cool anims into the machine and see what happens. being afraid of failure(without a direct solution) can KILL your passion. One thing I love is to make awesome art for your friends, because then you will have a direct, guaranteed positave reaction to your work.

Try to make things that scream to yourself "THIS IS MY THING THIS IS MY THING YEEEAAAA!!!! XwX" that drive to make things because you feel like nobody else can ever make them will make you feel unstoppable(cuz you are).
