All is not lost. So much time has been wasted. But all is never lost. A tree hacked to half its size sprouts again so long as it is still rooted in the soil. 

You have life. There's hope.

Embarrassing as a fresh start might seem, go at it once again. Little by little, step by step. If you learn your lessons well, you'll get all you've lost, and more, back.

If you sit back grieving past mistakes and lamenting over past hurts, what progress will you make? Time will pass anyway. 

Why not put it to good use? 

Rise again. Get to work.
