Honestly, going into your WIP pile to actually go through it and see what you actually want to finish can be really helpful, especially when you don't judge yourself and try to learn why that piece became a hibernater in your WIP pile
Some questions I ponder when I look at a WIP is:
Is this project turning out how I want? If not, what about it don't I like?
Do I or did I have fun when I was starting it?
Will I actually use it or enjoy it when I'm done?
Do I like the material now?
Do I see myself enjoying the product after it's done?
Were there, or are there, time restraints preventing me from finishing?
Is this out of my current skill set, and am I okay with that?
If I could change one thing about the WIP, what would it be?
I know plenty of people won't incorporate this into their own WIP and crafting journey, and that's okay. But I know so many people who hibernate their projects for many reasons and feel guilty about it. I hope this might give people ideas about why they hibernate projects to prevent that type of guilt from eating away at their conscious. This (creating) should be fun, and if you're spending a lot of time feeling guilty or ashamed, it can be hard to continue doing the things you like.

kills me when I see a post about maybe Not being constantly vigilant and/or that bad people make good art sometimes and/or that the content of art you engage with does not inherently mean anything about you as a person. and there's a person in the notes going no!! you cannot do that! you have to be vigilant, you have to keep a list of Problematic People in yr head at all times and not touch their work lest you get Tainted, you have to tie yr morality to fiction!!
and I can almost see their claw, reaching in desperation to try to pull someone back into the moral OCD bucket with them
