yo
@harp 2.e5 is an inaccuracy but so is his 2...d5
so later at move 5 the position you have is actually theory
The bad news: Its harder to play with more space as you have to protect more squares than your opponent
French is considered easier to play for the black side till quite a high level
The good news: as you become stronger you will come to appreciate space and play better with it
If you get the same position again I will mention two manoeuvres to you to protect the d4 pawn the base of your pawn chain , as they say.
a)Na3-Nc2
b)a3-b4-Bb2
and yeah f*** french It's a so damn difficult opening to play against. Best of luck!
