What do you guys think of tarot cards? I was always interested them but never tried them until today, I bought some at a rock shop last year.

My first reading was:
4 of cups: I believe I was dissatisfied with the gaslighting in a discord server I liked, so I left.
5 of cups: I chose to walk away from the disappointment of that server and start over.
11 of Pentacles - Knave: I enjoy nature aka animals/pets, my birds, and enjoy life but did not have responsibility until getting my birds, now I have the responsibility and purpose I lacked.
12 of swords - Knight: Ive recently made in the last year ruthless split second decisions to throw several people out of my life that werent serving me and demanded respect when for years I allowed disrespect, they were impulsive but necessary.
13 of swords - Queen: I shielded my emotions and used my mind and intelligence to deal unexpected emotional blows to the people in question to ensure their compliance and my resolve to not give in to their gaslighting and denials.
 
It's hard to say anything about the spread without knowing what layout you were using and the meaning of each position in the spread. Yours looks like a mini spread of some kind since you only have 5 cards. Common spreads are 10 cards.
Some general rules for interpretation: Minor arcana are more nuanced depictions of the major arcana. There are astrological correspondences as well. Most spreads have a polyvalent interpretation. A spread that is dominated by major arcana is supposedly a "big deal." Themes of numbers and suits are symbolic to the vibe and trends within a given spread.

Both the Tarot Dictionary and Compendium and Teach Yourself Tarot are great resources for beginning one's tarot journey.

Have fun.

One love
