Hi Abigail

I just want to thank you for putting this piece together. From our previous discussions you are probably aware of how close this subject is to me, and I feel the message within striking so many chords.

In the same way that if the 40 year-old man had embraced the responsibilities required by adulthood and built a productive life upon it, the thought of his young-adult years would have become something to smile at, rather than a crippling longing.

I'm 40 in December, and concede I've work to do with regards to not longing for a 2nd go at my youth, the answer being moving forward step-by-step with a plan in hand, creating good moments to fill today that can be proudly looked back on in future.

Thank you again for these life instructions, I really appreciate them and they help me greatly.

Asher
