Just in case anyone needs to hear it: You can absolutely start things in your 30’s and still feel fulfilled by them, even if there’s some 16 year old who is better at them. Do them for you, and don’t compare yourself to others.

(Also maybe don’t make combat sports your thing if you’re prone to that)

You’ll never do anything with that mindset. People learn new shit all the time, can’t do it all while you’re young.
