I feel that. I think being okay with not finishing a campaign is unfortunately something that just comes with the territory...far more of them just are never going to see a real end than will. Maybe there's a better answer to that problem, but something tells me it's a pretty complicated one if so.
But I think it's still worth telling those stories, even if you're telling them on your own! In either case, I find it's nice to keep at least SOME characters for one's own personal creative outlets.
Yep, I'm well aware of that fact ahah. Like I know it's normal, but it makes me even less motivated to try anymore. I'm out of juice lol. Also probably doesn't help that the few times it went well, my character's story was never really used and I've come to expect that in a way 1/3
