ive been wanting to learn how to make music, but i cant help but feel its too late. i know theres the "the time will pass anyways" mentality, but its hard to internalize it, you know?
You want to make stuff, so why stop yourself?
Who is it too late for? Late relative to whom, random others? Is the desire to do it not enough for you to try?
Even master musicians start off as clueless as you are right now. Be they some young prodigy or some middle-aged nobody, both ultimately have the same capacity for making art. The only difference right now between you and them is their willingness to begin and your hesitance to try - and once you begin, the only difference then will be how far you're willing to push yourself to learn and further bridge the experience-gap.
Making art for yourself is ultimately an additive experience, it builds on itself. Be it gaining experience, learning your personal proclivities, acquiring skills, seeing new perspectives - you only gain in trying. And if it ultimately ends up being not for you, then now you know, but it won't ever be for starting 'too late'
