Default I'm new to this place and I need help from you experts...please.

Look, I know this might sound ridiculous but i'm the type of person who would do anything to get something I truthfully want.
I decided to post this here since this is a music community.

so here it is..
I'm 18, I just graduated from high school recently, and i was struggling to realize what i'll be, my choices varied from forensic psychology to marine biology...then it hit me.
you see i have had several issues in my life so far, things like extreme depression and anxiety disorder..things that ruin some people's lives..never mind sorry this is no help forum.

anyway, music has always been there for me, helped me in a lot of tough times, as it has to many people other than me, so i'm no special case.
then it hit me, music..real classical music.

I never played an instrument before in my life..universities will only accept people with actual experience..
but you see i'm the type of person who would do anything for something they love, I know if i ever met a girl i truly love i would literally die for her if need be.

when I thought of music I felt like this is it and I would do anything to be a real talented musician someday, but just in case i'll sleep on it, maybe it's a fake feeling for all I know..
But what if it isn't? what if what i'm feeling right now is real?

I never played an instrument, I live in a country where music doesn't exist.

so what if I wake up tomorrow feeling the same exact feeling? and the day after that?
I would have to move away, far way just to actually buy an instrument, and practice buy taking classes and lessons and...its a long way.
but i know i can do something and i know i can make it its just...difficult.

but what do people here think? am i just being stupid? even if what i feel is real should i just forget about it? i feel like i can't.

I just...I don't know i wanted advice on this..

Number one: You shouldn't become a musician just to support yourself.

And B: You don't need a University to learn how to play. There are a world of alternate resources to help out anyone that would like to learn how to play any instrument. You already have the internet, now all you need is determination, and Google search skills.

Just follow your heart, raju.

Oh and incidentally, where are you exactly? I'm intreagued by your claim that music doesn't exist where you live.

He ain't comin' back, is he? Now I'll never know where on our planet music doesn't exist. I'm robbed of knowledge.

He could be from Finland since 'raju' is a Finnish word and means something like 'fierce' or 'violent'. But I think music exists here in Finland, but maybe I'm wrong...

hey raju do not just worry, as a music lover yes I will advice you to pursue the interest in music and you have chosen the best in form of classical music. Yes you do not have to go to any university for learning music but yes you do have to buy the instrument to learn. There are lots of online teaching available on the internet. You can take the lessons in your suitable time and they are pocket friendly too. You may just need a computer and some chat tools installed on it. So all the best and do not let the music move away from your life just HOLD on to it.
