Why am I now just realizing this?
As I'm entering what most would call my twilight years, why am I now finally seeing what I should have been doing with my life all along? I hate that I squandered so much of it.

You are not alone.
Make the time you have left count. In whatever way 'count' has meaning for you.
That's what I'm trying to do. With varying degrees of success and outbreaks of regret.

Help the young? I was young once, I was invincible and knew I would live forever, no one could teach me anything about life. I'm confident if, like Scrooge's ghosts, I had appeared to myself and related what would happen that the younger me would have dismissed it as fantasy.
But I agree, self pity is not to be wallowed in.
