it makes me sad that I did this to myself.

I'm usually all about personal responsibility / owning your own fate, but you gotta know hindsight is 20/20 man. You made some choices that didn't turn out - but it's hardly like you spent your tuition $ on dank weed or something.

Lol! That is true and I'd be in a totally different place in my life had I done that. I am grateful for those experiences for sure and wishing won't change the past. One thing I keep coming back to though is maybe I should try to reconnect with some of these people that I once knew, because I have this habit of not keeping up with people that aren't in my immediate social circle (out of sight, out of mind and all that) so I haven't talked to alot of people I once considered friends for years. I get anxious at the thought of talking to them again and I know that's irrational. Have you ever gotten back in touch with old friends that you did this to, how did they take it when you tried to contact them?

That is a good idea. Never know, you might end up back there again on your next gig!

In fact I looked up a colleague from 6 years ago last week, found out we're in the same region and scheduled kebabs next week. I just cold emailed them and said "Hey Teo, how you been? I was reading about (gamedev interest we share) and thought of you!"

That's fantastic I'm glad to hear you were able to reconnect. Thank you for your reply, it does help.
