Thinking About Embracing Islam

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I've been learning about Islam recently, and I feel a sincere pull toward it. The thought of taking my shahada has been on my mind a lot. But I'm nervous about telling my family and friends-I'm not sure how they'll take it. Also, finding a quiet spot for my daily prayers is tricky at home where I don't have much privacy. On top of that, I really want to learn more about the deen and understand the Quran better, but I don't know where to begin. It feels like a lot to take in. If anyone has advice or has been through something similar, I'd be so grateful for your guidance. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
