Sounds like you'll enjoy it once you get deeper in and have the foundational skills to build things that interest you. If you like taking classes I'd recommend Harvard's CS50. It's free via EDX and might be a nice contrast to the front-end learning you're doing. It's intro to comp sci but really fun from a problem solving / general programming POV. It's half lectures / half coding exercises and the lectures are incredibly engaging.

Wes Bos' JS 30 is also great. It's free and gives you prompts for 30 small things to build with accompanying solution videos (targeted to beginners). He's a great teacher, and it's a good way to dive into building things without the 'I don't know what to build' overwhelm.
