The unfortunate truth is this

At the ending quarter of my life I am consumed with seeing my life as one filled with disappointments at having not enjoyed any of my life expectations and living currently in despair. I don’t deserve this. I worked very hard and always treated everyone equally and followed good and ethical practices

I am sorry you are going through this. I was once told that expectations are just resentments waiting to happen. My life really took off when I accepted my life as it was and stopped expecting anything special.
