I don't see any big mistakes that I made. Just wondering where I could have made better choices along the way.

moves 13-15 when you opened up your kingside to the white queen were where you really lost the game

Yeah, once that Queen was lodged in there, I couldn't get her to move out.

1 problem is that u never properly developed yur pieces

2 move 14 should have been Qxg5 not Nxg5. From there you develope your black bishop with 15. xd4

Noted.

I think you're right about using the Queen to capture instead of the Knight. 

I thought my deleolopment was fine, though I had a cramped game.

let me show you wat i mean

you never had bad developement, i just could have been better 

 n f3 is a follow up move to attack your opponents e4. its not a bad move, but not the best

your next move is a risky move.  your enemy can create pins, forced moves, and in the end you bishop is stuck at b2 (I made the same move several times and lets just say i'm lucky to be alive). a better move is 2. e3 (instead of b3 )then 3. N c3

e3 developes a bishop and your queen and allows one of my favorite moves 4. b5

this way you have better developement of pieces

All the pieces are all in one corner and why don't the pawn on h4 should have taken the knight in the first place.

  Even early 13...Qxg5! to either trade Qs or drive White's Q away.

23...Nxe4+  24. fxe4 (or Bxg4) QxB  25. QxQ  NxQ (followed up with either ...exd4 or ...f5)

I think would have been much better.

Yeah, I totally missed Nxe4+ on 22. I think that could have turned the tides for me. Thanks for your time everyone.
