I had recovered , to a reasonable degree, from every mistake I had made in my late teen/early 20s by 28. If anything I learned the exact opposite lesson. That reinvention is very doable with enough doggedness.
Replying to @Empty_America
“That was the year, my twenty-eighth, when I was discovering that not all of the promises would be kept, that some things are in fact irrevocable and that it had counted after all, every evasion and every procrastination, every mistake, every word, all of it.” Joan Didion, Goodbye to all That

nostalgia is like alcohol. in small dosages if makes you feel alive. in large dosages, you are riding an e-scooter back to your flat while eating a shawarma then the shawarma is lost to the wind and you're bouncing on the cement like a deflated basketball
