dude i'm in the same boat. i'm picking up chess again after ~7 years of not playing and i'm hard stuck at 1000 rating on rapid on chess.com

do you play every day? i've been studying each of my games in the post-game engine review, but it's so hard to translate that to real moves in real games. every time i read about some chess prodigy becoming a grandmaster at age 15 or something i instantly think of suicide and how worthless my whole life is
