I love space and what might be out there. I like exploring, I always liked exploring in Minecraft, that might be a bad example but it's true. I've always dreamed of going to space and flying through the galaxies, those beautiful galaxies. But I've never been that guy that likes these complicated equations like in chemistry, I also think about topics you would here in philosophy a lot. And colonizing other planets and galaxies seems so cool. I like how space makes me think about scary yet beautiful things. Let's look at whether it's possible and that will help.
Most astronomers who actually get paid for it work for universities, doing research - which after all is what astronomy is. Basically you're talking about being a professor. For that you will need a PhD in astronomy or physics, which means at least 3 years (or however long it takes to finish - it can be much longer if it's not going well) doing a research project and writing it up as a thesis the size of a small book. To be allowed to do that, you need a university degree in physics or containing a lot of physics. So working backwards from there, you need to get into university.
The further you go with physics, the more it turns into mathematics - I have a BSc in physics, so I know! Just about all my university lectures dived off into maths after about 5 minutes, in the first year we spent 1/4 of the time just studying maths, and 1/8 of the time in the second year.
The university I went to now requires a higher grade in maths than it does in physics, which actually makes a lot of sense to me. So how's your maths? If you're not good with equations and don't find it easy to play around with them, forget astronomy as a career. Actually doing it is not a lot like the things you're thinking about - astronomers are NOT astronauts. "Should you be an astronomer" -- absolutely not, if you don't like complicated equations. You should make a living some other way, and do your astronomy with a backyard telescope. Many contributions to astronomy have come from amateur hobbyists, as it takes a lot of people to look at the entire sky. To be a professional astronomer, you have to know all that complicated math stuff, and a whole lot more - that is the way of science. Mathematics rules nearly everything.
Plus, you're looking at spending 10 years in collage in order to get a PhD.
If you want to to be an amateur astronomer, you can approach astronomy at your own pace, and budget.
The choice is yours. You can be.
