Should I pursue a music career?

[Supermoon]

I have been loving music my entire life, and I always have wanted to create my own music to make my mark on the world. I don't want to be just another person living their lives just to die with no real impact on the world. When I hear music that makes me feel true emotion, I just can't help but wonder if I could create something that gives people true emotion like I feel when I listen to the art that has been produced before me. I have never even tried to start with music, but I have always tried just looking at ways to start. I am just scared that I won't be happy after knowing all that it entails and the investment that I will make for myself is going to be a waste. Maybe that is my problem? I am afraid to take the chance that could change my life. I am secure and any sense other than being secure makes me run in the complete opposite direction. Maybe it is time to finally be yourself and let the passions that inspire your innovation, your spirit, your motivation, your happiness be set free. This is really deep and I kind of went off topic, but its just a little insight into what goes through my mind when I think of something like this. I really hope that you guys take the time to read this and give me feedback or your ideas.

So Mc-Market, should I drop everything that I am doing with my life and start pursing a music career with no knowledge about the subject, no equipment or experience? One thing is for sure those who support me here and now will never be forgotten. Who knows if I would ever be successful, but what if I my hard work pays off and I do become successful? It is just the risk that ensues. These thoughts racing through my head are normal right? Anyways thank you for taking your time to read this (if you actually read my nonsense in its entirety).

I have heard of many people who went with the flow, only to come out of it and these people who must be applauded for their virtue and courage are often seen through the lens of speculation.
whatever your age might be, you must be aware of the fact that if there are others depending on you, think twice. If you are independent yourself and have some financial source to fall back on, there is no reason to not to try and pursue what you like.

Thank you guys for the thought out replies. I have decided to start off small and only work on music in my free time during college. I might create a website where I post updates and samples along my journey. Have a really nice rest of your night, or day.

Yes it's relatively successful as a small record label. I earn a living from it. (I'm here because this is my hobby )

So you make money from owning a record label but you need to scam people on a mine craft forum

Pursue the things you love, but always have a fallback in case things go south.

What I think would be best is to just make music for non-profit and post it on areas such as YouTube and Soundcloud and grow a fanbase. Once you notice yourself growing maybe consider to start selling music and start advertising it.

Not sure though, I am no expert at this.

Why are you acting like you need to drop everything to pick up a hobby? You spend the first half of your OP talking about how important music is to you and then say that you've never tried to make music before. Most people call these activities hobbies, there's no shame in practicing some kind of craft outside of earning a living, give it a go.

If you have the oppurtunity to turn it into a viable career, do it. Even if you never turn a profit from it you could end up with an activity that can enrich your life, that's what it sounds like you want, anyway.
