I want to make music, I am finally in the process of doing that. I feel like music is my key to a better life but from ages 19-20. I wanted to make music but I didn't actually do it. The reason why I didn't make music is that I didn't feel "ready" and now I feel "ready" but when I think about it. I did all of that waiting and letting life pass me by. Better late than never I know but the feeling that I let even more years of my life go to waste is painful especially since my childhood and teen years went to waste because I didn't realize I never had friends or a girlfriend until I was 18.

2 years is NOTHING, people often don't figure out what they want to do till their late 20's, be glad that you know this is in your heart for certain being this young.

Just make sure that you get plenty of time practicing each day, and be patient with figuring everything out, you're not going to master anything overnight, just be very very patient with your flaws and making baby steps, one day it will all come together and you will gain speed and confidence, but just be very patient until then.

I wasted 36 years of life and counting

"Waste" according to whose standards?

Everything is a waste sooner or later

I could have eaten much better had I learned to cook in my 20s instead of my 50s. I can now cook tasty food without much effort, and I haven't gained any weight since I've learned to cook. I dropped two pounds.
