Yes...for some reason, this stuff has just sort of hit me this year. I'm starting to realize, like SuchIrony points out, that certain doors are likely closed to me because I'm not 25. I've always been drawn to performing in one area or another, and part of me knows there's always hope, but part of me thinks it's a young business and you're only valuable as long as you're young and hot. I'm lucky enough to be considered attractive, and I'm not old yet, but I'm also too old to make any sort of serious inroads in the music business, for instance, given that it takes a good 10 years plugging away at it consistently to get anywhere, anyway. But then I guess you're never too old to keep trying at whatever you want to be successful at. Your success might come in a different package, or it might take longer to get there, but there will likely be some sort of payoff.
I think overall I've done the best I could with the resources and reserves I've had at the time. I can't regret what I wasn't able to give at any given point. I can just go forward.
I'm glad I didn't get married and have kids in my 20s. I think I'd always have wondered what I missed out on by settling down too soon. Of course, now, I have no guarantees I will get married or have kids. It's the tradeoff, though. The unknown is the unknown, and you gamble and see what comes up. You just know what you don't want, a lot of times.
