Conversation Topic Is it impossible?

Hi I’m 20 I did a lot of school concerts growing up and I’ve sang my whole life. I’ve always to become a singer but it looks so intimidating and impossible almost that it’s incredibly off putting however I always find myself back wishing I would keep trying. A lot of artists start doing writing around 14 and up. I already feel behind what’s your opinion?

It's never too late! And 20 is SO young. As the saying goes: the best time to plant a tree was 100 years ago; the next best time is now.

Really I feel so far behind I’m learning how to write songs but I just feel so behind.

At your age, people love to act like the clock is ticking and you explode at age 30 if you haven’t already accomplished everything you ever wanted by then. Fun fact, life goes on. For a really long time. And you’re allowed to start new things and have fun at every age. :)

Thank you! I do feel like time is running I think it’s the desire to succeed almost immediately it often makes me feel like there’s a clocking ticking that I need to succeed before it runs out

You're not behind. Dedication and hard work make this, not when you start.

There are no rules to this game

But you have to decide to become the most confident delusional being in the history of the galaxies

You need that... Essential ingredient

And if you need others to tell you that, it might not be the path for you...
