As I understand it, you are now again helping young transthings, yes? Do you seriously want them to think that you're a failure for being a wonderful smart witty caring woman with lots of interesting tales to tell, and that you lost out something by not dying young? The choice is not between living brightly and burning and being sensible and dull and surviving. The choice is between choosing life and accepting all the dreadful dimishing that comes with it, or go out in a blaze of glory when you still haven't lived a full life. You are not sensible and dull. You are sensible and smart and brave and have dragged a lot of people along with you that may not have made it else, if I read it right.
So off with this oh if only I had been a rock star pains-of-young-Werther nonsense. You're a role model for surviving and doing it sensibly and having FUN with it and actually getting some things done along the way.
