> I just feel like Leaving coding for 2 years (I am in high school right now) and to join it after 2 years when I am officially in college

I did that. Admittedly, I did that in the 80s, so things are not the same now. But I grew up dabbling with old Apple ][s, and then stopped when high school came around. I didn't even really pick it up in college - but my first job out of college was in the tech world, and my career went just fine from there.

You have lots of time ahead of you. You are correct that you don't need to thrash your mental health at this point in life over such things. Just learn and grow yourself. Don't fall into the traps of FOMO or trying to live up to what the top handful of other youths are doing. Live your own life, enjoy it, learn all you can, and be ready to have an impact when the opportunity truly presents itself.
