yo....
i know a few people like this who are lovely, talented, smart people, but have just made a few bad decisions in life, and are now just sort of drifting through, kind of directionless, often jobless, happy-ish (i suppose) but not really living a full life (as far as i can see), kindof scared or too tired to commit to anything that might give them some focus, the sort of people you just want to give a good shake and snap them out of it....
now i'm probably not actually going to do anything at all, (not really my place / got my own shit to sort out), but do people ever kind of sort themselves out after years (decades?) of being a bit of a lost cause?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!
