Restarting the journey

It's been three long months since my laptop broke, and during that time, I completely stepped away from learning programming. I didn’t even think about coding or continuing my course. When my laptop finally got replaced last week, I decided to pick things up again, but I was shocked. The course looked completely foreign, like I had never seen any of it before. There was only choice I had, to start fresh.

When I sat down to resume learning, it felt like I was back at square one. I was surprised by how much I had forgotten in just a few months. It was frustrating at first, but I knew if I wanted to make real progress, I had to take things step by step. It felt strange going over things I thought I had mastered, but I realized it was the only way to rebuild my foundation.

That’s when I decided to approach things differently. Instead of feeling down about having to start over, I made a plan to study a little every day. I told myself that discipline was key. If I could commit to learning regularly, even for an hour or two daily, I’d start seeing results. This time, it wasn’t just about coding but forming a habit and sticking to it.

Yesterday, I spent almost 12 hours going over the basics, refreshing my memory with things I had learned before. Slowly but surely, things started clicking again. It was like dusting off an old book and remembering why I loved programming in the first place. The frustration began to fade, and excitement took its place as everything started coming back to me.

I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m definitely back on track.
