I guess once flying is in your blood it's hard to get it out.
Good luck to you! I know it's tough but you can't beat yourself up over decisions you have made. Me and my fiance both started flying at 15 but he took a 5 year hiatus in his early 20's. Well, now he is still at the regionals and I'm not. He knows he would be probably in my shoes if he didn't take the 5 years off, but whacha gonna do. I know it's easy for me to say but just look forward from now on and once again......
Good luck!
