This is where you are, so play the cards you have. Your life up till now has made you the person you are today and that cannot be a bad thing
If you keep looking over your shoulder you're going to walk into something sooner or later and get a nasty bump or, perhaps worse than that, miss the marvellous landscape stretching out in front of you!
I don't say this to be unkind. You'll only get on with it when you are good and ready, but consider the positive steps you have already taken. No bad thing at all
