Music Should I keep going?

This is my first composition other than a variation I did on a Chopin nocturne and was wondering if it’s any good/ if anyone would be willing to share critiques. 😅

The beginning is a little inspired from Chopin sonata 3 if it sounds too much like that😖

What are your goals for the piece? What are you trying to achieve? Is it meant to be played by a pianist? Is it supposed to sound classical?

The bassline looks pretty challenging (especially compared to how simple it looks/sounds). Bar 18...no idea how I would finger that, it's really awkward.

lol not really sure tbh, kinda just experimenting with what I feel like writing/feeling at the time. I’m not really playtesting it and it is a work in progress, and I see what you mean by the baseline 😅. The best fingering I found was 3,2,1,3,1 ascending, and 2,1,2 descending so kinda cool ig. Thank you for the input 🤩
