You know, I feel that I missed out on my 20s. In a lot of ways, I look at my age and wonder who messed up on the math.

Like you, it took me far longer than I'd wanted to become certified in my field. So you've had setbacks...your time is coming. Got debt? Me too...as do most Americans. Our economy sucks rocks these days, and anyway, some kinds of debt are actually good for your credit score, depending on how you manage them.
Pay close attention to this next part: stop using the word "failure." So things didn't work out the way that you'd hoped. Shit happens. You CAN fix it. You yourself are NOT A FAILURE. I will never accept that.I had "catching up to do" too ( ... )

So I'd send you a text but I recently denied myself texting privileges because I have a shitty plan and kept raking up ridiculous bills. Send me an email. Due to the texting thing I've become a prolific emailer again. I'm not sure what address you're using these days, but I'm still at z.mariachi at gmail. Let me know what you've been up to lately and in turn I'll regale you with tales of tech certification and the crazy things people are doing these days to score some narcs.
