I've been you, quite literally. And with an extremely similar age timeline even.

I won't tell you _you will make it_ because we are not owed a specific outcome in exchange for our efforts, but I can tell you it can be done. Channel that regret into creating the proper scaffolding to propel yourself into trying to make it work.

If you don't end up _making it_ at least you will be able to say you did indeed try your best until you couldn't.

The ideal best time to do it was ten years ago. Next best time is today.
