"i wasted those years" who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments. you did the best you could with all you had and knew. that was then. here is now.
I can’t stress this enough. GET OUT OF YOUR HOMETOWN. Even if it’s not forever. Move. Travel. See the world. There is more to life than the same 10 people and the same 2 bars.
-learn about the beauty of the world for 20 years
-contribute to it for 40 years
-relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor for 5-10 years
-die happy
