How do I learn to design and make my own electronics

[AchillesWrathfulLove]

I have currently only worked on resistor networks and gaining the skills to analyze them. I am now beginning to learn about RL, RC and RLC circuits and still I don't think this is enough knowledge to create my own circuits. To create a circuit you must have a function in mind as in "what do I want to do with these flow of electrons", a simple LED circuit where I could make a blinker is a good start. But even with the current knowledge I have I still wouldn't understand why I need a resistor to go with the blinker and why I need capacitor to go with it as well to make it blink, the WHY is crucial to making circuits cause if not u just being like a robot and putting things where they should be... I want to cut to the chase here and learn how to make circuits. Any books I can read that will allow such things?

Practical Electronics for Inventors is a fairly comprehensive book.

It sounds to me like your more interested in the "how" than the "why" at the moment, which is totally fine. I would recommend getting a simple electronics experiment kit that breadboards things together. It's usually pretty easy to expand those designs into very interesting things with just a small amount of creativity.
Something like this:
