I was going to say some flavor of this too. But I'll just give them step one to achieve this. And this is for anyone that feels this way. Stop looking at your past like a failure or waste. Accept it as part of your life and stop comparing everything/anything you do to what you were like before for validation.

This is what I needed to see. Even if I know it already, sometimes shit gets drowned out when everything comes at you fast. If I had money I'd 💰 drop a bag on ya . Thanks

Whatever got you to the point that you realize you need to do something better was the time and experience you needed to learn. Not time lost, but learning what didn’t work for you. Your commitment to find something better will get you to a point that you do enjoy. Sometimes the best way forward is to turn around.

Talk to many people that are where you want to be, and find out how they did it.
