I got sick with a serious illness when I was 34. So I was super glad that I'd followed my crazy dreams of a career in the arts in my late 20's / early 30's. Sure, in retrospect I also wish I'd had better health insurance....but when your life turns upside down and your body can't do what it once did, it's nice to know you didn't put off the most important things to you for "later." Nowadays with everything that's going on, I think it's doubly true. A lot of folks think they'll write / paint / do music 'once they retire.' Not everyone has the ability to give up their day jobs, but...do your passion at least a little bit now, while your body can still do it.
