On Being a Newbie

When you first learn something, it is very exciting and even though you make a mistake you really don’t mind it because you are still learning.

Sadly, there reaches the point where you are still new to something but you’ve made so many mistakes that you feel like you should be beyond that by now. You aren’t. And, you end up doing the same silly things over and over again until you ask someone and they tell you, “Oh, its because it works this way.” You come to realize that your conceptualization of something is completely different from how the thing actually is (or works). You reframe your thinking and you set out to do things right.

But, you still make mistakes. And, its still so very frustrating.
