that's me, big time. it's easy to be mediocre. failing is scary. my passion is storytelling/film. I was just considering dropping a production class after getting actors, props, etc. because things were getting hard. a friend just sat me down and basically said (I'm paraphrasing, but I'm putting it in quotations anyway, "look, how much do you care about this? do you want to try and see if you can do this? if you fail, you fail." ahhh! I just needed a little kick in the ass and some reassurance. you too, probably. don't worry about starting late . . that's another excuse we make (or at least I make) that justifies giving up. and of course, the longer you believe that excuse, the longer it'll take you to start. pish posh.
and don't knock school and jobs just because they might not be for you . . ever think those things aren't just preoccupations for some folk . . that they ARE passions for other people? I love my job.
The starting late excuse - I know that ALL too well. Such a hard thing to escape from and break. I believe people will do it until they miss the boat completely and then end up resenting themselves. I hope I don't do it to myself.
