Don’t let yourself become a caricature of yourself, step outside your self expectations and find ways to face your fears. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do until my mid 20s. You don’t need to plan it all out from the outset, spend some time trying stuff and learning who you are and what you wouldn’t mind spending time on getting good at.
Yeah usually when I restring I’ll wipe down the instrument with a cloth and oil the fretboard. I don’t think it’s necessary if you have decent humidity control and don’t get fret sprouting. I don’t have good control over the temp & humidity in an apartment so it can get dry especially in the winter and humid in the summer. For storage I’ll usually just loosen the strings and put one of those humidifier packs in the case/bag and re-wet it every couple of months.
