i feel like giving up

hello all! i just recently started playing ACNH (got my switch back in november and have been playing basically every single day since then). i love everything about the game and have become maybe just a little obsessed with it!

i am having some trouble when it comes to terraforming and decorating my island. every time i try to add something new wether it be me trying to make a view in the back of my island or trying to make some sort of coherent pathway, i feel like it just looks absolutely terrible. i’m not sure if im doing something wrong but ive watched endless island tours and have seen so many inspiration photos of what i want my island to resemble, and nothing i do rubs me the right way. i haven’t bulldozed my entire island because i know ill be overwhelmed so ive just been tweaking things as i go but i still hate it all.

since i started playing, i can play for hours losing myself in fishing and bug catching, diving, rearranging/redecorating my house, dressing up, or buying my villagers gifts they like. today for the first time ever i actually gave up and just shut my game off after over an hour of trying to complete a single corner of my island. i just feel like im losing my love for the game by obsessing over what my island looks like, but isnt that the main goal behind the game?

if anyone has any helpful tips to help navigate this feeling i would be so very appreciative.
