There are hard math concepts that I didn't totally "get' when I took the course decades ago, but coming back later I'd get it.

This is why, as a teacher, I don't buy the idea that some people just can't do proofs, or understand calculus, or see a point to category theory.

Time, increased experience with related math ideas, practice, vocabulary, becoming more a part of "math culture" made everything easier and easier.
