Instead of going to university directly after high school I would have worked and traveled instead, entering university with more maturity and resources. Fixing my teeth earlier. Getting my driving license earlier.
Then following my neighbour to where she studied and entering a relationship with her. I still had a chance technically in 2018/19 but I fucked up/didn't want to invest time in a distance relationship. I didn't understand back then that finding a comparable partner later in life could be much more difficult.
It sounds so trivial but I played my cards really bad and my early twenties were sad years.
So much could have been much better but I didn't know how to deal with various problems and I didn't have any proper help at that time. It's difficult if you have to learn everything on your own, my father wasn't very helpful. Not that my friends and people from my peer group had a serious advantage in that hindsight, all of them lacked a mentor or a good guide.
Loosing money on stocks, leaving bitcoin was painful. But in the end it was just money, nothing that can be fixed. I can't go back in time and I really miss being that young, so optimistic, so youthful, not so jaded and cynical.
My life isn't even bad, a lot of people would wish they had my life. But seeing all the wasted potential of the past is painful.
At least I was able to help a few other people.
