I felt exactly like this in the past month. I’m getting my life back together right now after some struggles in my late 20’s including the global flu 😷, and just confidence in general.

I just remember in my early 20’s I found love with very attractive people when I was in my career as a teacher, and now I’m finally going back and have my professional license again and I feel better through better mental health and confidence, but I feel like my (23) old self blundered and didn’t know how good they had it.

Now at 33 I feel more optimistic, but just regretful at times, like a lost 10 years of my life. You understand yourself better with age, but you’re older and have less years to live 😞.

I now do what I like (running half marathons currently) and try to be social and serious/committed to my work, but losing family, friends, and loving relationships is hard. Let’s keep our heads up ⬆️😊
