Wow! I looked at it some more... and i can understand you were asking...
From my perspective, your continuously attacking style was not always positionally sound, but you got rewarded with a draw, as your opponent also missed the point, where he could have exploitet you being overextended. Lucky you!
But you have to understand, that progressing from where you are will not be all that easy. It may feel a bit like progressing after having solved two sides of Rubik's cube: You'll be forced to scramble parts of what you already learned for some time in order to gain a deeper (more positionally sound) playing style. That is nothing you can learn from one game only. Anyway: if you intend to get past that point, be prepared to frustration. Any learning (like foreign language) comes in steps and to my eye, you got pretty far with what you have.
Next step i would really recommend to not be alone. Get acquainted with stronger players, listen to their lingo and try to understand, what they are talking about (open lines, weak squares, color complexes, weakening moves, sound structures, best piece squares,...) And do not be shy at experimenting: play along master games to find all of the above, test to incorparate one element at a time, and be forgiving yourself for missing the correct proportions/priorities often. Over time, you will get better at using them.
And there are wonderful games to see some concepts in action! If you dont use a coach, ask the community for suggestions specifically...
just my 2 cents ;-)
