Welcome back!

Don't want to be negative nancy but your comment on finding documentation boring is a pretty big red flag. Whether you have programmed for 1 month or 10 years you will still be reading documentation, whether it's for a framework, a library, an API. It's everywhere. So you should probably get used to it. Is it boring because you don't understand? Is it boring because you don't like reading?

Chances are if you don't understand it you might want to evaluate if Laravel is for you. Might be better starting with the basics of PHP. Jumping into a framework without knowing the base language will always be painful and will hold you back. I learnt PHP and I didn't jump on Laravel for years.
