Restarting my tech journey has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve made recently.
After nearly 4 years away from programming, I’ve decided to come back with a strong interest in IT and a growing passion for cybersecurity.
It’s not easy.
Some days I feel completely lost.
Other days, I’m excited to learn something new.
But most days—it’s a mix of both.
I’ve struggled with:
- Staying consistent
- Rebuilding confidence
- Choosing the right direction
- Feeling like I’m “too far behind”
But deep down, I know this is something I truly care about.
I want to understand how systems are protected.
I’m starting fresh with Python.
I want to earn my way into the world of cybersecurity—one small step at a time.
This post isn’t about milestones.
It’s about the moment you decide to stop overthinking and start doing—no matter how uncertain it feels.
If you’re also learning, restarting, or exploring IT or cybersecurity, let’s connect.
We don’t have to figure it out alone.
