Salaam.
I think it'd be nice to share our stories. I'll start. I was 17 y/o and for some reason I was googling "loopholes in islam." After looking for a few hours I found none, then it clicked. What type of All Knowing God would make errors and allow loopholes. I started reading more about God and I was amazed.
1 year later on my 18th birthday I was up late and night just thinking. It hit me, if I were to die right now I'd die empty handed and probably enter hell. I was rude, did some sins here and there and I was far from practicing. I started becoming more pious on my birthday.
After a while I realised I wasn't praying and doing what Allah wills because of my fear for hell, nor my desire for heaven. Just the thought of Allah telling me that He believed in me and blessed me with a muslim family, yet I disappointed Him is still my biggest motivation.
Why did you start practicing harder and why do you still continue? Same reasons?
