Problems starting MySQL server

I’m trying to setup Open Game Panel on my droplet, and it needs a MySQL database. When I try to start it, I get:

Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Doing systemctl status mysql.service gives me:

● mysql.service - MySQL Community Server

Doing journalctl -xe gives me:

I’ve messed with a bunch of stuff and nothing works.
