tbh im kinda stuck on this debate rn, ive been reading alot about different investing strategies and i cant decide between dividend investing and growth investing, i like the idea of getting a steady stream of income from dividends but at the same time i dont want to miss out on potential high returns from growth stocks, has anyone else had tomake this decision and whats your experience been like

so i was trying to diversify my portfolio rn and i think i made a kinda silly mistake tbh, i put a big chunk of my money into this one stock without doing enough research lol, im not even gonna say what it is but lets just say its not doing great, imo i shouldve juste stuck with index funds, anyone else ever do something like this? i feel like ive learned my lesson tho
