The main reason I avoided css for soo long because I couldnt just get it. I always had this realization that I cant do any design because of my struggles to align something correctly or choose colors etc. But since getting used to tailwindcss, Now I read about color theroy and other UI/UX videos and articles and they make so much sense. I dont have to be an expert, I just have enough tools in my toolbox to be able to try something new side project without getting bogged down by the sheer though of having to do a design.

CSS can be difficult to tackle but it's not insurmountable, I'm happy that you found the tools that worked for you and have developed a interest in design as a result of it. If you ever want to delve deeper into CSS, I recommend learning about some of the foundational knowledge like how cascading and specificity works. Although tailwind is a great tool, I still think learning the underlying platform is great for understanding.

Yeah, I agree. I guess, having found a way to not run away from it will eventually build curiosity to get a better deep understanding.
