Thoughts on how to use Roth IRA?

18M, just turned 18 last December and I’ve attempted to invest in my brokerage but after opening a Roth would it be better to invest in there aggressively? I feel like the biggest advantage I have is my age and I can simply withdraw contributions when needed (as I feel like I’m not in the position to fully max it out)

If so, advice on what I should keep in there? (Index funds, individual stocks, leaps, options) open to everything advice wise, trying to grow my portfolio through risk on investment and I’m okay with temp drawdowns as what I keep in my brokerage I have no intention of pulling out for the most part.

Let me know! Thank you all in advance.
