I truly believe that each and every person takes as much time as is necessary for them. I think, 25, it was not a waste of time for you, but you have hindsight, which informs us how to behave in the future if we would like different results from ourselves, but is useless in the shoulda coulda woulda.

You have so much wisdom and the hard truths are always the hardest to hear. Thank you.

GM, thank you for your story. And your information has been more valuable than you know.
