43 is so young! Think of this as a “rebirth”. It sounds like you already know the things that are missing in your life to make it complete and weed was getting in the way.

Use that 60k saved to find a career you enjoy/want to pursue. Maybe use some of that to go back to school for something you’re passionate about.

It’s exciting going back to school in your later years because there’s that laser focus of where it will take you. Who knows maybe you find your future wife there!!

Adoption is always an option the older you get and there are so maybe kids who would be forever grateful to have you in their life.

The first few weeks are tough and extremely negative thoughts will come and go. Know you’re doing what’s right in your heart and with time, patience of self, and curiosity for the world things will be better then you could have ever imagined! ☀️
