Open Question: am i GOOD or an amuture at.....?

music? okay, so ive been playing piano for about 2-ish years now (im 15 now, and i started around 12) and i started playing the electric (plug in) piano in my home and didnt stop. the bad thing is, i dont mind for the reading of it, and do most of my work visually. i started a while ago by listening to the piano more. i started by doing the kind of full version of munneut (spelling?) by bach and canon by pachelbel. there not the full key versions because the dumb music book that came with the piano only gives songs in amuture style or something. i then started doing a few other songs that are simple like scarborer fair, im still doing that now. a while back, i understood how to visually play songs on a floppy disk that came with the piano that was more for pros and i learned like 1/5 of clare du lune in its true form, but then the floppy broke, so i dont know how to do the rest. when i started, i also started playing around with fingering. soooooo, i created my own liitle classical pieces. i have created about 10 pieces of work over the time i started and people are surprised i made up music without anyone teaching me. i also taught myself everything i know. i also taught myself how to play by sound, like Nearer my God to Thee, and a spanish lullaby, and some others. now, am i a over acheaver or a kind of person who teaches theirselves to do things? (ive taught myself how to play piano, draw, cook, and sew) i dont care at all about the career of music but i just would like to play for the enjoyment of playing.
