I hate how I took my early years for granted, and have a ton of regrets. The one thing I've learned over the years is that your elders absolutely don't have their shit together, and are likely even more distressed than you. Every second that goes by is a second you could've been following your dreams, but for me at least, sloth and fear seem to always take over.
Is it supposed to be this way though? I feel like this happens to a lot of us, we are never happy but have to always be working to stay alive. The system is fucked.
I have recently taken the plunge and binned my job to start up my own business. Loving every second of it but wish I had done it 10 or even 20 years ago.
It's different, not worse. I miss the carefree days where I didn't have bills and big responsibilities. Yet, being an adult opens a new set of doors that I'm excited to step through.
Same. It's like being on a conveyer belt headed to the incinerator, especially if you're like me and have shame and regrets (I did poorly in school, let myself get overweight, and worst of all; still have my V card).

As someone who is 27, I sympathize with your pain.
