You sure have! Congrats!!

It's definitely hard, but I think it may be harder with the knowledge than without! I recently cut like 2.25" to even up some layers and that took me from CBL to SL and the past 3 weeks since I did it I've been really really impatient about it getting back to CBL. Like, it was THERE and while I'm happy that my ends are basically all the same now, I want it back there now!!

Beforehand I didn't really notice any growth because I wasn't trying to do things like put it up in any way except a pony or pigtails which I've been able to do since JL/NL. But now I'm looking at styles I want to try and such and I'm just wanting my hair to grow grow grow!
