I want to chase my dream but I think it's too late for that.
Problem/Goal: I want to attempt to become someone I imagine myself to be.
Context: I am 24F and I am about to graduate college. I can't imagine myself working as a practitioner of my degree anymore. I dream to make it as a PPop artist, but I think I'm way too old (considering that most auditions now have an age limit), my skills are now rusty (as I didn't develop my talent for singing and songwriting furthur since my Mom died when I was 15), and I am currently obese with health problems physically and mentally (I don't think I look as good as I did when I was really fit). There a lot of signs saying that I should give up because I don't fit the description of an artist and also due to my current mental health situation which I can only describe as something that is sucking the passion out of my life. On the other hand, something in me is saying that I should go for it even though I won't get the support that I need for it. I'm losing hope that I could still do something about my situation, and to be completely honest it's the only thing that makes me hope for a better tomorrow.
Previous attempts: I did online auditions when I can when I was 19 but didn't get any positive results.
Should I continue pursuing this dream or should I suck it up and work on the path I am on right now?
