I'm so glad at this stage of my life, I made the decision to move forward and learn web/graphic design. I love the creativity it entails and how there's always something new to discover. I'm having so much fun!
But I must be honest, my age played a huge role in making this decision quite challenging. I hope you never allow thoughts of, "I'm too old" stop you from going after what you want. Age has absolutely nothing to do with reinventing yourself. If you're still breathing, you can become anything you desire. You just have to push past any fear and shut down that inner bullshittery chatter that likes to try and convince you otherwise.
Is is gonna be easy? Maybe - probably not. But anyone who's ever stood atop a mountain gazing at the majestic view below, knows the climb just makes it all the sweeter.
Here's to your dreams, baby!
