I once read 'power of mediocrity' or something like that that I saw here on HN. that article talked about the fact that it's ok to do things just to enjoy them as opposed to getting better at them.

since then I don't worry about my rating anymore, just playing on lichess without loggin in, just to have fun.

I'm not improving much, but i have fun.

The trick for me was understanding that in an MMR system, no matter how much better I got, my winrate was going to remain roughly 50%.
