Dyoure 34 but depending on when you moved out and whether you went to college, your adult life began only 10-15 years ago. Hopefully you live at least into your 80s.

In reality you’re only 20%-ish through your adult life. Most of it lies ahead of you and there’s plenty of time to guide it in whatever direction you want.
