Hi Tilz, editing isn't easy is it, I spend ages flicking between edits trying to get things right, then they look different on everyones screen!! Personally I still like the original best, I prefer the softer look for that particular photo, but that's just my personal choice.
I'm not sure how experienced you are with editing but I would choose a relatively easy programme to start with and not one that's too complicated. I'm not familiar with Affinity Photo, so I'm not quite sure where that fits.
