Being a 19-year-old "newbie" - My perspective and thoughts

Hey everyone,

I’m 19 and I’ve recently started exploring this community. Since I'm quite new to all of this, I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately to understand my own motivations and what this journey means to me.

Sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming to be at the very beginning of this path with no prior experience. I’m curious about how other younger men (cubs) felt when they first started out or how experienced members view the concept of "starting from scratch" in this dynamic.

I’m just trying to stay authentic to myself while navigating these new feelings. Would love to hear some general thoughts or personal reflections from the community on this.
