Six years ago I answered this thread with my experiences so far and how frightened I was looking into the future, as well as seeing how inexperienced I was back then.
Looking at it from today's perspective, I'm not afraid of the future anymore because I've seen that I can always learn new stuff and adapt. Can confirm that the 2010 me was as amateur to the 2015 me as the 2015 me is to the 2021 me. I will probably see myself in five years again and think of myself as a total beginner one more time.
I trusted myself when I was in doubt and it paid off. To be honest, could have been otherwise so don't take the "always be yourself" advice with a grain of salt. When you are in doubt, there is a reason for it and you have to be brutally honest with yourself.
A while ago I found new things annoying and shit, mostly without trying them. It was because new things interrupt what other skills we are learning currently and they question our own experience. Nowadays I'm much more open to new trends. New stuff helped me develop massively.

- Just need to be old enough so one understands that new things are just old things remixed or even worse - recycled
but yeah, keep being curious = major keygrafician
