Anyone here that can alleviate anxieties I have about the time

There's an infinite amount of knowledge. You'll never know all you want to know

If you knew everything, you'd know what I'm doing with my other hand right now.

You might die tonight from a brain aneurism. Nobody ever expects to die like that but it happens. I could as well, God only knows, but why should I worry if it's tonight or two weeks from now or fifty years from now?

I suppose I should have been more explicit. I understand in theory that you're right but in real terms the situation is that I'm 22 years old and have only recently gained a passion for serious reading. Starting something like tackling the great works this late takes more sacrifices at this age and with my poor financial position. I feel like, and am probably anxious because, I might very well throw away a chance at a normal life just to achieve it.

Anyone here whose been in my position? How did it turn out?

Did you bump your head as an infant? 22 years old is young and not a late start. You've never heard the term "opsimath?" Some world famous people don't start studying till 40s and up, yet they still became world famous. This is literally common sense stuff I'm telling you.

Buy an used Kindle, anon. You can pirate eBooks or legally download public domain works; either way you'll save a lot of money and will have access to a shitload of books.

Honestly no I hadn't. You could say I was a vegetable as an infant and child and teenager and young adult. So please forgive me.

I can be quite pessimistic so when I hear 'it's never too late' a part of me always believes to some degree that in the vast majority of cases but the few exceptional ones that the phrase is just a cross eyed platitude. In any case I don't expect world fame from myself. Thank you for the harsh encouragement anyhow. I'm certainly being stupid. I suspected it.

One step ahead of you anon. Cheers.
I was more concerned with the amount of time my eventual wageslave job will allow me.
