From late middle school onward until I was about 26. I wasted so much of my life being scared of everything & timid, hiding away in my own little world. Even with my siblings close in age, I remained distanced from them. One I barely knew & wished I had known her better before she passed on.
Things started to change in baby steps after my sister passed away. I rather not go into a lot of details. I eventually quit a dead-end job that I had worked for many years that affected my health. It wasn't until in my 30's I made friends that didn't revolve around drinking. I have nothing against drinking, I prefer not to be around alcoholics & the bar scene
I wouldn't consider them lost years as I was there all the time and knew where I was and what I was doing.
I guess the feeling of remorse has to be there for the feeling of lost.
I use the word squandered because they were so unproductive.
However. I had a good time while there so it could be labled theraputic or a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" time in my life.
