Dear Nichole:

Elaborating a bit: there is nothing any of us can do about the loss of money, of time, of youth; the loss of potential that was not actualized, opportunities missed, life unlived, hopes and dreams that never came true.

So much is taken away from us and so much that we miss and waste- this is the human condition, not unique to you alone.

Do your best to not repeat the waste. Do what you can to live a life that makes sense, where it is that it makes sense to live it.
