there is a proverb around here...

"when the cart goes wheels up, ah, plenty of roads.."

it is mostly always taken the forward, negative way (like "too late when wheels go up").

But there is a backward, positive way. "if you want to have many roads... turn the cart wheels up." see Sacrifice by Andrei Tarkovsky.

But maybe not exactly your situation.. maybe the Zen idea of "when you name a thing, it's not the same thing anymore (for you)" might be better. That.. works also for negative things - name your fear somehow, and it's not fearfull anymore..

stop looking back and comparing yourself to whoever. you can be great (fun) without being like everyone else. Find something to strive for. Anything. Go for it.
