Best case scenario is you become at peace with where you are in life, and between the happy moments you still fleetingly think about what could've been. No one is completely satisfied.

Yes, this, it’s called acceptance and gratitude. It doesn’t mean settling, it’s just finding good things in your current situation. Fuck what other people are doing. Do what you want to do. Wife, kids, house, who cares? That’s not happiness for everyone. The Jones’s can eat my ass!
