+==================== READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING ====================

+I have left several `:help X` comments throughout the init.lua
+You should run that command and read the help for the section for more information.
+
+In addition, I have some `NOTE:` items throughout the file.
+These are for you, the reader to help understand what is happening. Feel free to delete
+them once you know what you're doing, but they should serve as a guide for when you
+are first encountering a few different constructs in your nvim config.
+
+I hope you enjoy your Neovim journey,
+- TJ
+
+P.S. You can delete this when you're done too. It's your config now :)
