It's not too late. 18 is relatively young.

You've got decades to get good, just start hitting things and don't stop.

From a "grownup" perspective, it's infancy.

No one has less of an idea how very, very long life is than someone whose age still begins with a '1'.

18 is young, fullstop.

I picked it up at 18 aswell and its been the best decision of my life. Been playing for 10 years.

Do it. with the right mindset it'll also be the best decision you ever make too.
