You sound similar to me a few years ago
Currently 25, started with $3000 when I was 23
Buy bluechips and hold, don't panic sell
I've lost hundreds chasing memes (never use more than 5% of your cash on memes) lost hundreds selling early (once had 10 HEAR@ $1.25 a piece, sold them at $0.99 a piece, they are currently $18.20 a piece) (I once had shares of FCAU at $5.50 a piece, sold them @ $6.75 a piece, currently worth $21.20 a share)
Avoid 3x ETF's, even if you make money at first, you will lose it eventually

Just don't get discouraged, and diversify as much as you can afford
I was below my original account for a good 8 months at first, never been below my starting point since, after I stopped going all in on memes
My BA stock is up %135+ and my AMZN is up %60 from when I bought it (would be more if I stopped trying to reposition myself so often), my MU average price is $30.00, and my other tech stocks (MSFT, NVDA, AMD) are all up %35 on average

Some advice I'd give my younger self is buy a few stocks with big dividends, then just use dividend money to buy memes (bio-penny stocks, Greek shipping memes)
And buy SPY and DIA every time they have a red day, I really wish I realized that sooner
