This is well said, and I think you've got a great attitude about the "wall" we can sometimes run into while learning. Often just taking a step back (sometimes literally, breaks are good for you!) can give you some perspective. One thing I would encourage is to start tackling projects. Once you have the basics down in learning the front-end, you really only gain comprehension by diving in and trying to make something. Google every little thing if you get stuck, and soon enough the pieces will make a whole lot more sense.
Thanks! I’ve been tackling several projects but I’ll try and tackle more difficult stuff to learn. If you’re not comfortable you’re learning - or so I’m told 😅
Haha, absolutely. The easiest way to maintain that "uncomfortable"-but-engaged balance is to try and make something either a) you would personally use to solve a problem, or b) involves some kind of functionality you're super interested in knowing more about. For me, I was fascinated with the way React hooks/state worked, so I just started making stuff to try it out.

For practice, Free Code Camp, Exercism, and Code Wars are all great options, along with Codecademy's mobile app for little quizlets on the go.

Definitely. That’s why I tried to learn more about APIs trying to build something to access NASA’s Picture of the day 😊
