i feel so screwed skills wise. like it's too late for me to ever learn to truly be great at my interests (primarily art, programming, and storytelling.) it sucks.

Aren't you like, 17? You still have like 60-70 more years to get better at shit.

@AppleAmps yeah but you get worse at absorbing stuff as you age, right?

Well yeah but just because it's harder doesn't mean it's impossible! You'll definitely never be the best in the world at anything but you have more than enough time to be great at things.

@shroomie your standard for learning a skill shouldn’t be “one of the best in the world”. you can absolutely become proficient in anything even if you start in like your 40s. sure, you might not be on the level of someone who’s been doing it since they were young, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be extremely good. computers weren’t really a thing until my dad was in college and yet he’s one of the best engineers i know.
