Philosophy requires thought and reflexion, sometimes a love of truth, love of thinking, and a craving of understanding things better or at the very least have a more constructed perspective that categorizes them the way you want to, be it the world, life itself, society, humanity, or else. You just need to think. If however you are refering to becoming a philosopher in the professional sense, making money and being read by other people, I would say this is practically impossible in 2023. The only person that ultimately will care about your opinions are yourself and yourself only, as the centuries of philosophy and famous intellectuals and writers already passed, there is a philosophy for nearly every way of looking at life, except if you get outside of the scope of labels (possible), by trying to truly think for yourself instead of regurgitating what an author of its time subject to irrationality, societal norms, subjectivity and fallacy like every human do (you'd be surprised how many people view Nietzsche as a genius simply because he is mainstream and approved by today's standards, not even questioning his beliefs beforehand, they just go from the principle that he seems to know what he's talking about therefore what he says is true).
And besides, not much people care about philosophy today statistically, same for intellectuals; even less willing to buy a book to hear some nameless' Joe of today ramblings, very few even read to challenge their own way of thinking (I say this, because the more unique a philosophy is, the less people are going to agree with it, and in the hypothesis that your philosophy isn't unique then again many examples exist) most do it to confirm their biases and can do it for free using the Internet, as a result will not even bother searching for recent intellectual works of other contemporary people. It is a solitary activity, for better or worse. Anyhow, good luck on your intellectual path anon, it is a noble, yet lonely path.
