“I Tried to Create Before I Learned — A Lesson From My Canva Journey”

“I jumped into Canva without knowing how. I failed, I learned — and now I’m growing.” 

✍ By Ayesha Writes 

🌟 Why I Started Using Canva 

. I downloaded Canva because I wanted to start digital marketing.

. I thought it would help me design Instagram posts and blog images.

. Everyone online was using it, so I followed them too.

😕 My Mistakes in the Beginning 

. I didn’t learn the basics of Canva before jumping in.

. I didn’t watch a full beginner tutorial.

. I didn’t know what SEO, branding, or digital content actually meant.

. I just opened Canva and expected to “figure it out.”

💡 What Happened After That 

. I got confused by templates, fonts, background, and text tools.

. I couldn’t design anything meaningful.

. I felt frustrated and gave up too early.

🎯 What I Learned (Hard Way) 

. Never start anything without understanding it properly.

. Watch full tutorials first (like the one I shared in the video).

. Practice step-by-step, don’t rush.

. Don’t compare yourself with others who are already experts.

🧠 My Realization 

"The person who teaches themselves doesn't need someone else to teach them."

. We will make mistakes.

. We will feel lost.

. We might fail again and again.

. But this is how real learning begins.

🚀 My Advice to You (If You're New Like Me) 

. Start slow.

. Watch full tutorials from YouTube.

. Try making your first design side by side with the video.

. Don’t be afraid of doing something wrong — just do it anyway.

. Focus on learning, not looking perfect.

💬 My Message for Anyone Struggling:

If something feels hard, don’t give up too quickly.

Maybe you don’t need a teacher — maybe you just need time.

Give yourself that time.

Don’t let frustration stop you — let curiosity guide you.

Because everything becomes easy… when you’re ready to understand it deeply.

“The things that seem hard at first aren't always impossible.

Sometimes, you just need a better way to understand them.”
