is it too late?
ive been writing poetry for a long time and decided i want to put my words to music but ive never touched a guitar in my life. im 22 and bought one that ive been practicing with but i suck and part of it just feels helpless. all my favorite musicians started playing guitar when they were like 10-15 and making music in their early 20s so i feel like im a decade behind. if there is a slim possibility i can get people to listen to the music i make i feel like i wont be at that point until at least my late 20s. i know the time will pass either way but youth is so fetishized that i think at that point no one will care and it will all just be a wasted era of my life. i could just keep writing as my main passion but even though i suck so far i feel like i have music in my heart. how stupid it is to feel at all.
