Carey's right in definitely implying something
As a philosophy professor at a small liberal arts college, I have a job that allows me some measure of creativity, yet my passion is for my guitar, which I come home and play every day, and often before I leave in the morning. I even have one in my office, which I might get to once or twice a week for 10 minutes. I play for myself mostly, trying to overcome challenges and "create" sound. I'm 41, have a wife and a baby and a house, but am lower middle class, quasi-bohemian (that is, I don't have a lot of stuff, don't watch a lot of TV, will smoke good weed when possible).
If you want to "create" music, you will, no matter what your age, whether anyone listens, whether anyone pays you.
It seems the LW's longing is for "a life more abundant."
