Would younger you be happy with the way current you turned out? Why?

No because younger me had a much greater goals for my creative potential but I let that slip and my passion was consumed by the pursuit of a stable career and life. Every now and then I get glimpses and signs of success that tell me my creative potential is still there for me to tap into but I'm feel so physically and emotionally drained from my career to really do anything with it.

On one hand I seem successful because I have a decent career that has given me a comfortable life, my own home, ability to travel etc, but on the other hand I feel like a failure because I'm not doing what I really want and so much of my time is consumed by my career
