Keep trying until you get it

I felt the need to come here and make a post because the most incredible breakthrough just happened for me. I started building my first portfolio project(only HTML & SASS) about three weeks ago.

I did my basic reset and made a basic animation nav bar in the first hour, so I was flying pretty high. Then I ran into a set-back using flex-box for the hero section. The h1, and paragraph in the first column were shrunk vertically and it frustrated me to no end. I thought this would be a quick 5 minute fix.

I went over my flex-box course thinking it had to do with a property I was mis-using, tried everything I could think of over the last three weeks. Tonight I saw that I had the line-height set to 1.2rem for h1 elements instead of just 1.2. Fixed it right up and now the landing page is almost complete.

It was immensely frustrating, but even more rewarding.
Never give up.
