Then continue.
There isn't some rule that says passions must develop in childhood and
continue uninterrupted into adulthood.
I didn't start the martial arts (no access to lessons in my home town) until
I was almost 30. I now have a 2nd degree black belt and have 17 students of
my own.
I played in the band in school but have unschooled the piano off and on for
4 years.
I always wanted to be involved with animals and stockshows as a child but we
didn't have the money. My 11yo dd is teaching me how to show dairy goats (I
got reserve grand champion at the Washington County Fair last weekend
<yahoo>).
It is never too late. There is no need for regrets.
