So... I'm a noob

Once as a beginner I thought for a long time on a move, and, by my estimation, came up with probably the most brilliant move ever played in chess history...
Then my opponent played a move and I lost my queen to an elementary tactic lol. I was shocked at the time.

Come on Lexi, shake yourself. Blitz isn't really chess. More of a sop for instant gratification junkies.

OP made a good start, recognized the noobiness of a bad move. It's like when an alcoholic finally says "right, I have a problem!" they face up to it and say yes to life, just like the OP is saying yes to antinoobiness.

Welcome, Lexi, Greetings from Brazil! Nice games to you!

No you won't be getting any chances if your pocket is empty. That's the whole damn point, and I imagine many of us to be contemplating these days. Seems at times almost as if we were all born this way. It's all about classes, you know, of people, but if he hugs you, check your kidneys haven't been removed.

Haha. I have hundreds of stories just like that. You should try out longer time controls so you can really evaluate your position and think about all the possible moves. Also, I have found the lessons on here incredibly helpful.
You seem pretty smart, I bet with enough dedication to learning you'd fly right past me in ratings.
