Welcome to the Bravenet community!
You've made some great posts, so far; keep up the great work!
Time leaps almost like a wink of an eye and we often feel we have passed our youth days. At times, we feel we've lost something and regret on the choices we made but we can not give in. It is at times like this that we have to count the things we gained. For each of our loss, we for sure gained something and that something is what should matter most.
Being youth is not a time of life but a state of mind. As long as we have the will to make things differently, we surely can make a difference.
