I guess what I'm asking is, did any of you really want to do something, and for reasons out of your control, you never got the chance to really delve in? When you look back now, do you have any regrets?

I know you might not care, and that's cool. It is understandable, you don't know me.

Thanks for reading.

I'm working full time at an office job now (web development and marketing at a financial advisory firm), but I still find some time each week to sit down and write, and I submit my stories to magazines that occasionally buy them. So that's one way I get to indulge in my passion while officially working in a different field.

Try to find meaning and purpose in everything you do, even if it may not be what you planned. Even something like data entry helps people and is part of what makes the world go round.

I sympathise with the panic attacks. Eating lots of nuts helps me - they're a good anti-anxiety food, and cheap. Back when I used to get a lot of panic attacks I'd bring along a packet of nuts whenever I went out, and eat them before any situation that might trigger an attack.

At the end of the day, I guess we all try to make the best of each day we live...
