When I was about to graduate, I wanted to make an app for mute people to talk through their phone (Not tons of people know SL here) but my professor curbed the idea. Afterwards I didn't know where to start, and this is why I wanted to do a job so I could learn how real-life projects and things work.

But you are right, I need to get ahead my fear of failure.

Making something helps to get hired. Not only is it a show of expertise, but also an expression of your unique personality. What is more, I asked what you want to make right now. Even people afraid of failure make things.
If I am being honest, a living. No project comes to my mind at all. Just that I want to work. I love coding, can spend hours on it. If someone ask me to make something, I am all up for it. But nothing comes to my mind on my own. It's just plain numb at this point. A project that I have started working on is a scraper that will have Google Sheets integration and then I will use it make insights + some other plans of scaling this project.
