I've heard about that same regret from someone I know recently (she's 35), and I've been thinking about it myself. It does feel quite tragic, feeling like a large portion of time has been wasted... I even feel it myself a bit, thinking I might've been able to start even earlier, if only I had known about myself more. But I know I don't gain anything from thinking about the "what-ifs," and moving forward is what will help me now and in the future. I know there are no magic words to erase that kind of melancholy, but I like to think that it's possible to focus on the positives enough every day to overshadow it. Well, "most days" would be a more realistic goal, but I'm going to say "every day" anyway! Aim for the stars, et cetera.

Perspectives like yours are what encourage me to get off my lazy butt and make change for myself, so I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment! And if it means anything, you really do look spectacular! (I took the liberty of peeking at your personal thread, hope you don't mind!) I'm hopeful that I'll end up looking beautiful like you and all the lovely ladies around here.
