It’s never too late to change the direction of your life, try something different and give something you’ve always dreamed of doing a go. There are no rules to tell you you can’t do things at different times of your life.
So if you’re thinking ‘Oh I always wanted to try drag, be a DJ or own a pub’ or anything else for that matter, my advice is to just go for it!
