I’ll be honest — lately, I’ve been struggling a lot with coding.
There are days when I sit in front of my screen for hours, staring at the same error, and it feels like no matter what I try, nothing works. I jump from one solution to another, and still… stuck. And when I finally solve it, another bug comes up, almost laughing at me.
Some nights I go to sleep thinking, “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.” Other times I compare myself with others and wonder why it looks so easy for them while I’m stuck in this loop.
But here’s the thing I’ve started to realize:
Struggle isn’t a sign of failure — it’s part of the process.
Bugs aren’t enemies — they’re little teachers in disguise.
And every time I finally fix something, no matter how small, it reminds me that I am moving forward, even if it’s slow.
It’s not easy though. Some days are heavier than others. Some days I just close the laptop and walk away. And that’s okay too.
I guess I’m sharing this here because I know I’m not the only one going through it. Behind every cool project or polished repo, there’s a story of someone who struggled, doubted themselves, and still kept going.
