Lessons from a late bloomer who wanted to be famous

“You’re not too old, and you’re not too late.” ~Unknown

I have been indecisive since I was a child. When I was little, I wanted to be a ballet dancer. mine

My parents even bought me a ballerina cake topper for one of my birthdays. As I got older, I wanted to be a singer, which led me to a performing arts high school. While at that school, I even learned how to read musical notes and play the piano.

I believe my desire to become a singer was influenced by my experience of being bullied at school. I wanted to feel loved and thought I could achieve that by becoming famous and gaining fans. This is expected behavior from children because their imaginations are so vivid.

I can’t decide what I want to do when I grow up, but I am certain that whatever career I pursue, it will be a successful one. I am happy that one day I will become a successful adult.

However, when I became a legal adult, I no longer wanted to be a dancer or singer. I have scoliosis, which makes it difficult for me to become a professional ballet dancer. Dancing was never a talent of mine anyway. And my singing voice isn’t bad, but it’s not exactly professional singing material either. Still, I like to sing every now and then.

Despite giving up on my childhood dreams, I still wanted to be famous in some way. I just don’t know how I’m going to achieve this. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do as a career and it didn’t really matter to me. I’m still young and still have time to make decisions. Time flies, and before I know it, I have become an adult, forty years old.

When I was a kid, indecisiveness was cute and acceptable, but now that I’m an adult, I’m still undecided about my career. I’m not even a young person anymore. I’m definitely not where I thought I was at this age and I feel embarrassed.

By the age of forty, people are typically settled in their careers and have at least a few years of experience under their belts. Many celebrities start their careers early and retire at the age of forty. Even those who don’t retire at this age can retire if they want to because they make a lot of money.

This is what I thought was in store for me. I thought when I was twenty-one I would make a lot of money and help my parents. With the cost of living ever rising, I find it a little unbelievable that I could be so financially secure at such a young age, but I’m sure I’ll get there by the time I’m forty.

To this day, I have not made a decision about my career. I’m still doing some soul searching to figure out what I want to do with my life. I often feel like I’m too old to struggle with finding a career anymore.

Many of my peers have built their careers. This often makes me feel bad about myself, but then I remind myself that I don’t need to be in the same place as my peers or any of the famous people my age.

It’s okay if I haven’t figured out my career yet, and I know I’m not the only one who has worked hard and found myself later in life.

One of my family members loves art and she did a lot of research on different famous artists. She often shared her research with me, and one artist impressed me deeply – the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

Yayoi Kusama was born in 1929. In the 2000s, she began to gain further recognition.

Yayoi Kusama’s story shows that a person can achieve success at any age, even in old age. Her story serves as an example to everyone that it is never too late to realize your dreams.

Judi Dench is a household name around the world, but she didn’t start acting on the big screen until she was in her sixties.

Comedian Lucille Ball begins staring at her iconic performance, i love lucy, Over forty years old.

Morgan Freeman played a role that made him an in-demand actor in his fifties.

The late, critically acclaimed Toni Morrison publishes her first book, the bluest eyes, Thirty-nine years old.

Singer Susan Boyle was forty-seven with her first hit Britain’s Got Talent.

Many famous people achieved accolades later in life, and their stories are inspiring to me. But I realize now that success doesn’t necessarily mean notoriety.

There are many people who return to school later in life and find new paths that bring them joy and meaning, allowing them to engage with life on a regular basis.

I personally have been dealing with depression and my therapist has changed my life for the better. She is not world famous, but she has gained a sense of fulfillment in her life by helping people with mental illness.

Even though I don’t have a career that I’m passionate about right now, I’m often told that my smile is beautiful and that it makes someone’s day brighter. Maybe that’s its own success.

There is nothing wrong with fame or desire for fame; however, I now know that fame is not the only way to be successful and find your purpose in life.

I am still discovering what my dreams are and what I want to do with my life. However, I realized that it didn’t matter.

I also realized that success can mean different things to different people and that there is no timetable for finding a passion or purpose.

So, if you’re a late bloomer like me, that’s okay. Don’t compare yourself to others. We all move at our own pace, and we all have our own unique path to meaning and change.
