You’re not too old. It’s not too late. And you can’t do it wrong.
If you think you are, it is, or you can, it’s just your ego trying to keep you from trying anything outside your comfort zone. But what your ego doesn’t know is that you can’t control any of it anyway (not their feelings, not how long it takes, and not what the journey will look like along the way).
So try things on. Really suck at them. Reinvent yourself whenever you want. Wait 9 years after getting the guitar before you decide to pick it up and take lessons ().
It’s all good.
You don’t need permission. You don’t need to wait. And you were never the shitty labels you once used to define yourself.
