We're not so different, you and I. Becoming an adult and realising just how active other people's childhoods were made me feel lesser, and almost angry at my parents. But they did what they thought was best for me, and they sure as hell busted their asses raising their only son.
That didn't stop me from choosing the life I wanted. At 20 I stared lifting, at 23 I climbed the highest mountain in my country, and just last week I rode a horse that galloped at full speed through a forested canyon, all things that had my aging mother scared half to death.
Yeah, maybe I could have been taller, more muscular, or more popular in high school, sure I could have had more fond experiences to look back on. But what matters is now, now and tomorrow, not the past. You can still live the life you want, you can still build those memories that will last you a lifetime. I know it can be daunting at first, but trying and failing is a lot less painful than regret. And once you grow old and have a son of your own, then you can share all those moments with him. Your parents did what they thought was best for you. Now it's time YOU do what's best for you.

Probably not but it definitely did affect me. Last year I broke up with my fiancée after being together for 6 years, my highschool sweetheart, and the only woman I ever loved. I fell into casual hookups trying to numb the pain even though I knew that would never work.
I couldn't sleep for 6 months, I got sick 5 times despite never getting sick in a decade, and I injured myself while lifting a handful of times, some minor, some major.
And despite all that, I added 10kilos to my bench press (110->120), 20 kilos to my rows (80->100) and 10 more to my squat (130->140). I still get nightmares of how things could have turned out differently, only to be hit by the lonely reality once I wake up. But that won't get me anywhere. If any anon is reading this, push through, only time can heal these feels.
