Yes absolutely! My tank was definitely on reserve back then, lol. and agreed - for what?! Makes me think a lot of the lyrics from the song "bittersweet symphony"

Be proud of what you built! You accomplished something others could not. You made a difference; a mark; an impression. We both did, in our separate corners of the world.

True damn story!!! XOXOXO

Celebrate the accomplishment, but don't dwell on the "what ifs."
Just rambling...

You know I appreciate your rambling ;)

We each learn our lesson. Mine was that the relentless pursuit of success wasn't my dream, it was a reflection of other people's expectations for me. "You have so much potential! Youll change the world!"
What if the "change" I want to make in the world involves kindness and compassion, rather than a bottom line?

I love this!!! because it is just that so much of the time - external influence. Social pressure. Obligation. Ego. and if there is one thing I have definitely learned as I have gotten older is that I want no part in it. Well, as little as humanly possible any way, lol
