You answered an ask about people who gave up drawing at a young age for thinking they had no talent and went back at it as teens and you said it’s good because they only left a decade behind… what about people who are in their 30’s? That’s me now, everyone is so young and better, I feel like I’ve wasted my chance on starting at a better age and I fear I will die before I even can achieve anything, yet those teens and kids already have everything I wanted… how would I not see them as enemies?

Then what about people who start at age of 40? In their 60s? I say once again that I believe that it’s never too late to start, whether you’re a teen or an adult or you’re bordering 90. There is no “right age” to anything.

So what if you didn’t start earlier? You have plenty of other experiences teens just don’t share yet. It can transfer so well into drawing. Maybe it will not be the same style, but the unique ideas or adult jokes or whatever.Try seeing positive. Look at all the things teens DON’T have yet. They have everything? Except for example their very own house, all the actual freedom, they can’t even drink alcohol yet:”D I mean, c’mon. There is no reason for seeing them as enemies because it’s nor yours nor their fault you don’t share the age you started drawing.

And god, life doesn’t end at 30! Nor at 35 or 40 which is the age you CAN achieve something and polish that skill more. Van Gogh started at 27. And there are so many people who try to be like him and paint like him now. Age is not a thing that should define your possibilities. If you want to do something then do it:”)
