@DaLe-2020 . Welcome to the forum.
I think you’ll find a lot of us who have been on a very similar journey to yours. Actually a lot of us have probably forgotten those early days.
Have a look around the forum, ask any questions you want.

T1 will throw you a lot of fliers, unexpected results and some moments like, "what the ##**!! just happened there, &×*/\$_, I hate #!*@$€, why the )(%=÷= is this happening to me etc" and every other sweary word on the planet, but at the end of the day, we all figure out quiet ways of dealing with it in our own ways and life carries on remarkably normal.

And that includes eating cake and Chinese buffets. Although I'd steer clear of the sweet and sour sauce...
