There are a lot of good comments here, I think its good to add that it is ok to abandon some things you are learning. Some thing may end up being not that interesting, time consuming or too hard.

I guess I’m trying to say to enter new topics with realistic expectations.

The Sharknado movies.

My favourite scene is when there was a flood but the streets were only about 10cm under water and then the sharks were swimming in the streets eating people.

Or the one were a one of the tornado sharks came flying to eat the main character and the dude chainsawed the shark in half.

Have you tried detaching the black cables yet?
