Learning web development

I have been struggling with learning web development on and off for a little over two years, the biggest difficulty I've faced is keeping up momentum and consistency. So far I've built a couple of web pages on codepen using html, css and bootstrap following freecodecamp curriculum.

I am giving it another go, I believe I can do it.

So far I've struggled so hard with Javascript, it seems so abstract. I'm still not comfortable applying it to my code. However I've always wanted to learn React because of the idea of HTML + Javascript since I'm very comfortable with HTML so I recently delved into it. So far React has been decent, but I'm worried about running into problems since I'm lacking in javascript.

I would like recommendations on any resources that could help me understand javascript in a more practical sense and ease into the basics of React.
