It's all personal preference to me. My thoughts? Drums a little too prominent in the mix. Maybe add some more space (reverb?) to them as well. Lush, melodic sounds on top....those i like. Again, that's my opinion. Keep going. The only way to get better is to create.
It actually sounds OK to me. But as @Ufo says it is all down to personal preference really - yours in particular since you may be listening to it the most
Try to listen to your mix on different types of device/speakers/headphones/car etc. and see if any particular part is over or under emphasised.
...and, yes, the only way to get better is to keep creating. I still don't really know what I am doing when I mix/eq etc. I just tweak until I think i sounds OK but I am also always will to take on board constructive suggestions and criticism as that is also a great way to learn
I liked it. No need to be embarrassed to post @serosin. I've thrown up way worse. There's a broad range of talent here, so I don't expect to compete...just hope to improve.
Mission statement, right here.
@serosin Good effort. Keep at it.
I regularly hit the same roadblock, but there's some good advice on this thread that I should also try to take on board.
And I must say that your mix sounds pretty good, to my amateur ears at least.
@serosin - I second all the thing that have be said above, with emphasis on :
Just a few days ago I was catching up on some reading. OK, maybe "catching up' isn't exactly correct since the post is from more than a year ago, but the content is still interesting.
Jakob talks about his rules for mixing ( among other things)

I've read other post here on the forum and found links to others personal mixing technics/style. If your going for a specific type of music and style ( e.g. Techno, Ambient, Cinematic, .....Top40
, you might state the style your going for. Though even within a genre or style, personal preferences very greatly.
What's the brass pad that comes in around 00.37, man that's a nice sound. And as for the mix it's OK, personal preferance is the key. For me the drums sit OK in the mix it's the sound I don't like, this...for me...would have sounded nicer with an 808 type kit, nice long delay kick, thin tight snare and sparkly crisp hats, with a touch of reverb on the whole kit, for EQing the kit I would have rolled off some of the mid range a little and pushed the top end a tiny bit, that would have made the drums breath and not detract from the nice synth sounds in there.
When you do a final mix you don't have to use extra EQ or compression, try to get each sound right while your recording it. Compression is hardly needed with electronic music, unless you want to get that pumping feeling that some EDM has.
Mainly compression is used for instruments like Bass and Vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, stuff that will change volume as your playing it.
As for the final mastering of a track, if at all possible get someone else to do it, it will probably sound better because they will have no emotional ties to any particular part of the song, for instance I may like my piano part better than my bass part and subconsciously push up the piano in the mix, which to me sounds great but everyone will go "nice track man, but that piano is way to loud" plus mastering is a super skill all on its own.
For most of us the best rule of thumb to start is if it's sounds OK to you then that's good, then listen on as many different things as possible, then let some one else have a listen.
And remember there are no hard and fast rules when making music.
