you are right scatty to look forward, not back(as robbo said).
i have spent too much of my life thinking about past, as in “if only i’d known/done….blah blah blah…..if i could go back in a time machine and talk to/advise myself……
not productive…..
when i was turning 40, and had just given birth to my first child, people were joking that i epitomized the saying “life begins at forty”.
having just turned 48, and just diagnosed with adhd, i’m looking at my life now as doing the prerequisite work required for the course of study “life begins at 50”.
so while feeling “cheated out of years of my life” is still lurking unde the surface still, really trying to stay in the mindset of feeling hopeful about my future, and working to improve my present.
