Life

I want to learn to draw manga. I'm in school (not currently because I withdrew for mental health reasons) for computer science. I realize that I want to learn to draw and pursue something in art but l've been at my community college for almost 5 years, haven't graduated yet and I feel as though I'm too late to pursue art since it takes a long time to be pro at it. I'm 24 and I'm afraid to start. I wanted to start months ago but was too afraid and now I keep thinking about those months I could've started or the countless other times I could've started drawing. This has lead me to think of other experiences like never having a girlfriend, never learning to drive, still living with my mother, and just countless other things. I wish I realize I wanted to do art because it fascinates me. I want to study other subject like math, physics, cinematography, and others for art. I think it's so cool that you can combine pretty much life it self into your art and I want to be a master for myself in my art journey. On one hand, it's hard seeing people my age and younger who've drew since childhood or took the plunge to draw and I feel left out but on the other hand, art is an endurance run and the same people I see now may not still be here in the future and I should draw for myself. I realize to build mastery of art is to focus on your obsession and feed it, study it, and work hard at it. I just wish I realize this sooner. Am I too late for art, can I even reach this goal in the future? I just wish I could jump in it but I’m too afraid.
