Dear Jonathan:

No one can make up for lost time. People try, but it is impossible. And we all lose time, lots of time. I for one lost decades. There is sadness about lost time, lost youth, lost firsts that didn’t happen.

Accept this sadness over lost time best you can. Consider that it is the norm, not the exception, to lose, or waste time, youth, opportunities.

And then, consider what is available for you. What is available for you is a Beginning. It is okay to begin at 30.

“what now?” you asked. Now live the life that is available for you.

You wrote that you have a “good job house car”, well you have something. Now have a healthy, loving relationship in your life. Make that happen.
