BUT I also think that the realization you had - that you have spent so much time trying to live up to other people's standards, or garner other people's approval, and it has never worked for you - is one of the secrets to achieving happiness. Once you realize that the only person you need to impress with your life is yourself, I think that is when you begin to find happiness.

No time is ever wasted. No choice is ever wasted. No experience is ever a waste. If you have learned to let go of what these others want for you, and embrace what you want for yourself, things will start to get better from here.
