I definitely relate to this. When I was 9 and bored of playing with pseudo programming languages (I had used a lot Scratch and wanted to create videogames with Game Maker) I tried to learn C++ on my own. I suppose you can guess what happened.

It wasn't until I was 15 that I tried again but this time in Java. I don't really know what happened, maybe I matured enough to understand that you can't expect to have natural talent with everything you try and that there is a process to learn everything in life.

I feel really happy for your perseverance.
