I've been feeling the exact same way about the process of learning something new. It's like you perfectly described the feeling of finally grasping a concept after struggling with it for ages. It reminds me a bit of playing Doodle Baseball, actually. You're swinging, missing, swinging again... trying to time that perfect hit. Sometimes you fail, but each swing teaches you something about the timing. And that feeling when you finally connect and send that ball flying? Pure satisfaction. Thanks for putting this feeling into words!
