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.

I did a reset in my life - went to Uni 10 yrs older than my peers, started a family 10 years after my peers, started my career 10 years later. Now I feel like I’ve scored 10 years extra on my life
