Yes, you got lucky. You need to work on tactics, not just positional knowledge. Some winning shots you missed:

11...Nxe5 12. Bxd7+ Nexd7 and White is down a piece. (12. dxe5?! c6)

17...Qc2#

OK, I get what you are saying. were my ideas decent?

I think that, although it doesn't look like professional play, for a 1050 player, it was pretty decent. Good job
