i'm kinda new to chess and just started this year. Most of the lines I know fully are from white's perspective so I'm not that good when playing black and I don't really have any decent counter against d4 so can anybody recommend me one that results to an very open game? I'm not good when it comes to postional stuff but decent when it comes to tactics so it would really help.

I tend to lose focus(which you can obviously see in that game)very easily which is why I only play long games to practice that. Thanks anyways

This is not being good at tactics.

After looking at some of your games, I will offer the usual advice.
You dont follow opening priciples.
You hang material.
You miss simple tactics.
Opening Principles:
1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5
2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key
3. Castle
4. Connect your rooks
Tactics...tactics...tactics...
Pre Move Checklist:
1. Make sure all your pieces are safe.
2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.
3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.
4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.
5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
All matter of perspective! It might not be good compared to you, but maybe it is still better than his positional skill compared to you.
Anyways, I would still follow all of IMBacon suggestions, they are very good!
If you want something open and tactical against d4 the obvious answer is the Gruenfeld Defense.
But if you really want to improve longterm in chess you have to get better at positional play, and also have some fun at doing so.

I'll definitely. Like I said, I just started this year and I feel like I am improving. Thanks for the suggestion too.

I recommend you this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulJuHiPm_fM Here Black plays just the normal Queen's Gambit declined agains 1.d4 und it becomes tactical, especially attack agains the king who lost his castling rights.
