The important thing is to capture the now. Starting at a young age is no guarantee of success. I just recently committed to writing full time and I spent the past decade of my life doing pretty much everything else but writing for myself. It is very hard to see successful professional friends and how well their lives seem to be doing while you are stagnant.
What is yours will not pass you by. The right opportunity and the right situation can be yours the key is to be looking for the right opportunity and find out what within yourself needs to shift in order to make that possible. I understand how parents can have a terrible effect on you. My whole life was run by my parents until I was well within my 20s and if I let them they would still be running things. There is a deadline for blaming your parents for life problems and you haven’t passed it yet. I agree that side work and writing is the best thing to do. As many greater writers have said, if you feel the need to the write there is only one important thing in your life to do and that is write, write, write. Hone that craft!
