What is a knowledge or skill which you thought you just couldn't understand, until eventually you did?

Whether it was explained differently, or a foundational bit of knowledge made it click, how did you finally understand? No politics – I’m thinking along the lines of math/programming, language, crafts, etc.

    Two things programing and typing. Touch Typing was just one day after beating me head against the apple 2 then came in and boom it just clicked and I was 40pm. With programing it clicks and unclicks every other day. One day I’m like i am a real programmer getting paid to do this then the next I’m the biggest fraud that can’t even do a while loop correctly.

    Whistling was a mystery to me for years. I kept trying and eventually found a mouth shape that worked. I can’t whistle with my fingers though, like some people do. That one’s still a mystery

    Learning visual mediums. There wasn’t really any formula, just consistent training with multiple mediums. Mainly drawing and stylistic designs. There’s a weird cliff because our tastes don’t match our level and it’s simultaneously changing. Still learning and that’s what makes it worth while.
