ONE OF MY DREAMS: LEARN A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

I'm envious of my friends that learned piano since young. For all my 18 years on this Earth, I have never ever played a musical instrument. One of my dreams is to learn how to play a musical instrument, especially the violin. I really really wanna learn how to play, but I'm a tad bit old. It's not like I wanna play on stage and become a professional, I wanna play it for fun. I fear I might be too late as I get older and began to regret.

Nevertheless, my path on learning violin is... 0%.

I will never be able to achieve this dream. It's too impossible. Why?

1st. I'm 18. It's much better to start at a younger age. However, many people in the Internet seemed to say it's never too old to learn.. ok so this problem is kinda solved.

2nd. Financial problem. I'm not from a rich family. We always struggle for money, though not so pitifully, it's been much better these last few years. My parents main aim is for me to go to uni now. Then paying for my living expenses, as well as for my lil bro. Learning violin won't be a cheap process, in fact, it's pretty expensive. -.- And to learn it right now... well, it seems like a very selfish requests. And I had a lot of selfish request.

3rd. My parents. Almost similar to 2nd reason, I highly doubt my parents would appreciate if I do learn violin. It won't help me in the future, they might think it's a waste of money, and they want me to study, not play. =(

4th. Would any teachers even wanna accept me as a student?

5th. The urge to learn to play a violin stem from watching La Corda d'Oro. What if I lost interest soon? Well I highly doubt that...

6th. Level of difficulty is HIGH!!! It's super hard to learn violin, even more compared to other instruments. I've read that you must master how to hold the violin properly, position of your hand and bla bla bla... What if I quickly lose interest due to these difficulties... >.<

Lastly, 7th. I can't even read musical notes. -.-ll

Ahh, the path towards my dream seems more and more farther away =(
