I feel like what you're describing is natural at your age, full brain maturity is a few years in the future. Your channel is amazing from the bit I've seen and as long as you know it's what you should be focusing and working on don't get distracted or discouraged. I think it will pay off! My experience of that time in my life (33yo now) is, like the thought of being homeless, is to find out who's really there for you, including testing yourself if necessary. My "mistakes" at your age, like not pursuing bitcoin could be one, led me to something far more valuable in self-knowledge of an undiagnosed childhood traumatic brain injury, no abusive people in my life, and a peaceful, trusting attitude that I believe could sustain me if I ended up homeless again. Maybe there's a lesson in the Benjamin Franklin quote I was going to cite: "Work as if you were to live 100 years, Pray as if you were to die To-morrow." A popular misquote, the one I was thinking of and feel like I heard first, is "play." Both seem important. Homelessness seemed like such a negative, "couldn't happen to me" thing, I actually ended up using it as a tool, spending a few days living in my car, my phone even got stolen, to get abusive people out of my life; finally addressing childhood impulses to run away from home. Keep writing and doing what you're doing I'd say. 🙌
