It's okay to start out with a custodial solution. Download wallet of Satoshi and your good to go.

Then when you're ready, pay Voltage.Cloud a monthly fee to run your own LN node, and set Zeus wallet up to that node. Or, use Phoenix Wallet which is in my opinion the easiest way to access lightning in a non-custodial trust-minimized way.
