No One Really Tells You The Hardest Part Of Getting Older

102. Also agree, don't hate yourself

But I would go further and ask what you wanted to do in show business? Be an actor, singer, musician, writer? Those are all things you could engage in now.

I am a creative person also and I used to make a full time living as a musician. After 30 years I started doing it again just for fun. I go to an open mic and jam with people. There is no ambition as when I was younger to "make it in the entertainment industry." I don't have to do music that fills the dance floor and sells drinks. I do music that I want to do. I am also trying to grow - learning and taking lessons this past year in both voice and lead guitar. I have made other musician friends. But mostly I love being in it - developing and growing artistically. The joy of the arts is not in making the big time, it's in doing it, expressing yourself, sharing your gifts.

Whatever your interest is now is a good time to live out a part of it. At least for me it's been very fulfilling. Don't beat yourself up.
