I personally don't see an issue using scripts early on when learning as long as it's allowing you to focus on a specific part of development.

Ultimately the way I learn is:

  1. Find a problem/project
  2. See if I can solve it 100% on my own
  3. Find an actual solution/script online and compare it to my terrible one.
  4. Break down each section of the script I found so I fully understand why/how they implemented it that way.
  5. Repeat

    I had a similar relationship with my younger brother after I left for college. We were close before then but when I got back we were basically strangers. I let him move in with me shortly before figuring out I was trans so even though things were still a bit weird between us I came out to him (couldn't deal with running to hide wigs and dresses anymore). His response was that he always wanted a sister and we got super close after that. Our family says even though we're 4 years apart we basically have the mind meld thing twins have lol

    I'm not saying this will be your experience but being honest and vulnerable can be a great start to getting closer. Regardless you have already shown how brave you are by coming out.

    Also it doesn't look like you mentioned her politics, but even though she's in texas it seems like she was chill with you being feminine when you were growing up so id hope she's still open to that.

    There are regular tablets you swallow and there are chewable versions. I'm just letting people know not to get the chewables.

    Usually it just doesn't occur to me until I'm halfway or completely done and it's too late.

    I've used them and they help sometimes but I also just forget to take them all the time lol usually if I'm chugging a large milkshake I'm having a bad enough day that I'm not thinking a few hours ahead.

    Also anyone reading this: the chewable lactaid tablets will make you want to die. They are one of the most unpleasant things I've had in my mouth
