Personally... I feel I should have done much more. I was raised in an abusive home, it had a destructive effect on me that shattered my confidence.
I'd like to think if I'd been raised in a supportive home my life would be much happier.

Yes, absolutely, with the exception of my relationships, but you could say that about 60% of population, because approximately what the divorce rate is in most years. When you factor in my desire to marry a Black woman, you can probably understand why I'm still single today, although I was married for a while.
Sort of and yet not.
The things I have accomplished I'm proud of.
I've had some failures that while they don't rise to the level of haunting me, they're rough to admit.
And then there's a bunch of stuff that I didn't accomplish. Wanted to accomplish. Haven't. Some I'm responsible for but many I'm not. Those ones I'm not happy about.
Kinda similar to you, honestly. But I am pretty happy with my progress so far.
Growing up with my abusive family certainly set me back and I've had to claw up to what most folks consider a normal starting point.
But it's going well. I'm pretty proud of the life I've built since getting away from my family.
I am but now I have to deal with getting into college

Considering I came from nothing at 16 years old to where I am now, I am very happy with what I have done with my life.
I always beat myself up for not doing more, but realistically I’ve done pretty well and it’s certainly been an adventure.
Not at all. I feel like the few years I spent as a sick kid ruined me and ruined the plans I had for myself, I’m struggling to pull myself away from that time and get my shit together 🥲
Yes I am. I had goals to achieve more, but life throws curve balls. That’s ok. Curve balls aren’t ‘in the way’. Getting around, over, under or sitting on them is the way.
Happy yes. Satisfied? No. As long as there's still breathe in my lungs there still mountains to climb.
I expect myself to be better. I can be better. I am just lazy.
happy but never satisfied or complacent
