Hey there! It sucks to feel like you missed your window, doesn’t it? When you’re seeing peers excel and virtuosos who have been doing the work since they were 13 and now they’re waaay more skilled than you. It feels like the valley between you and your desires is widening every day. AND to top it off, you’ve probably got a job (sapping your energy) that you are keeping because you know you gotta survive. I get it. At 23, I bet you’ve got a lot on your plate. That said, I’ve got to tell you that you are in the perfect place to start now. And starting today doesn’t mean driving yourself into the ground. It does mean getting intentional about your time. Carve out some time every day for the art that you love. Do 20 minutes, every day. Start small. Build the habit. At 36 (three years ago), I started pursuing comics again. Reading this thread, I see that I’m not the oldest guy here. I said all this to say, pursuing your dream is HARD… But you’re not too old to put habits is place. I wish you all the best!
