When I first started learning to code, CSS made me feel stupid.
I’d sit for hours, adjusting margins and paddings, only for everything to still look broken. I honestly thought, maybe I’m just not cut out for this. Maybe people who “get” CSS have some secret sauce I didn’t have.
But I stuck with it. I failed, I googled, I cried (not gonna lie), and then something clicked. It wasn’t about being a genius it was about practice. Small wins added up. A layout that finally lined up. A button that looked exactly the way I wanted. And slowly, CSS went from enemy to ally.
If you’re struggling right now, I promise you it gets better. You’ll look back and laugh at how scary it all felt. But only if you keep going.
I wrote a small guide showing the CSS tricks that saved me. No fluff, just stuff that works. The same little shortcuts I wish someone had handed me when I was losing my mind.
If that sounds like something you could use, grab it here: https://tekisolve.gumroad.com/l/grjet
You’ve got this. And one day soon, you’ll be teaching someone else the same tricks.

Love the honesty in your journey! CSS can be a beast, but it’s awesome to hear how persistence paid off for you. Thanks for sharing the guide—super helpful for anyone still in the struggle. 💪
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback, still learning.
Completely agree with this! Css in the start feels like road to hell 😅 but once comfortable it's like magic. We can implement all the design ideas in our mind using this.
Yep, too many people struggle with same thing at the start lol
