I wanna get into cooking but not sure where to start?

I’m 17 and never cooked a thing in my life apart from the microwave. Lately I’ve been frying up steak and eggs and it’s sparked something in me. I want to get into it but just not sure where to start. The idea of having lots of different spices for different occasions seems fun and really appeals to me. Where do I start with this?

Finally proud of myself and see a future

Dunno if this is the right sub to post this in.
I’m turning 18 in a few months and never thought it would happen. It’s been a dream on and off since 13.
I’ve been in multiple psych wards following suicide attempts.

I got a casual job a few months ago which is something that was so hard for me due to severe social anxiety. I haven’t really spoken to anyone apart from immediate family and medical staff for years.
I’m slowly getting more confident about being around other people. Currently working on being more confident about how I look and speak. I have scars on my wrist from past mental health struggles that makes serving customers tough but I think I will slowly grow to care less what others think of me.

I’m Currently learning how to drive and looking for my own place for more independence. I’m trying to finish tafe to eventually take a uni pathway and get into a bachelor of counselling so I can help people find ways to better their own mental health.

I’ve been putting myself out there more and even had a few hookups which has honestly been the hardest thing for me to do and something I never thought I would be able to do due to severe sexual OCD that has been the reason for all my mental health issues.

I feel really happy where I am right now and feel like things will only get better from here as I progress life and put myself out there more and try new things.
I never thought I’d be writing something like this 6 months ago but I’m stoked.
Just wanted to write this down and share the progress:)

I’m a guy turning 18 this week and he’s 21. (Age of consent here is 16)
We’ve been hooking up casually the last month and I lost my v-card to him. I have severe scars all over my thighs which I’ve always been so self conscious and insecure about(I’m all good now) He was so sweet and understanding. He’s a really kind guy and it felt good knowing he wasn’t disgusted by my body.
He’s always asks if I’m okay and comfortable during hookups. It’s really passionate and we cuddle after. It hurts knowing I’m just a hookup to him when I can’t stop thinking about him. I feel like I can be myself around him and I’m not shy when I’m with him which is so rare.

I know he’s on apps hooking up with other guys while I’m jealous and thinking about him. I’m his #3 best friend on snap but He leaves me on delivered for a day on Snapchat while sending countless snaps during the day and only really sends me a snap along with 100 other people for his streaks before they expire. It hurts knowing he barely knows I exist and I need to get over him and lose feelings.
I know he’s doing nothing wrong and it’s totally my fault I feel something for him. I know it won’t be reciprocated and I really just need to lose this because it makes me feel like shit.
How do lose the crush??
Pls help me out:)

Tl:dr have feelings for a hookup and need to lose them
