Just remember that the essence of cadence and chord progression is starting somewhere, moving away from it, and moving back. Like breathing in, out. Tension, release. Picking up a weight, putting it back down.

Western / Tonal Harmony is all about expressing that through I-V-I (with lots of stuff in between). You can learn many different uses of each of the chords and their "distance" from the tonic by checking out some music theory books. They explain that all of the "in-between" chords are a tool to move away from I or back to I. Not to just use them, but to use them for a reason.

You don't necessarily have to use I-V-I. You can try other things. As long as you create movement, contrast, drama, etc. I've found that bVI and bII are cadences I like (without getting any more complex and explaining them as substitutions).
