As a wise dog once said, "sucking at something is the first step towards being kinda good at something."

I avoided many areas of computer science and programming for far too long because I thought they were "hard". Many of them turned out to be way easier than I expected (I often found myself wondering, "why didn't someone tell me how easy this is! I could have done this years ago!!"), or so much fun that working on them felt effortless, despite the increased effort in objective terms.

I guess what I'm saying is, start learning about what interests you today! Make small and consistent progress.

I've found that setting aside time every day (rather than just when I feel like it) to study areas of interest has been extremely helpful in this regard.
