I saw something a few years ago that stuck with me. It was basically a kid saying to their parents that at 25 they are too old to start a medical degree as they will be 32 when they finish.
The parents respond with either way you'll be 32, might as well be 32 and a doctor.
Feel like this is a similar/parallel point.

I didn’t the military thing for four years, enlisted at 20. I graduated with my bachelors at 29 while working a factory job. Took me six and half years to complete my four year degree. It’s about the end of the race not the start of it.

Because he wanted to I guess. And it's not exactly a degree you can easily do yourself by just reading.

But I'm not a winner, the fact my comment was downvoted proves me right.

At this point why go to school? Better and as effective to read Books and chill out. What’s the point of the degree except to say “ I told u so”?

Reveling and wallowing in a veneer of low self-esteem is just victim mentality with extra steps.
Being motivated by lies, getting more and more comfortable lying to yourself about things as important as your core identity, is not a good principle to have.

“Many that changed their minds just after they jumped” is fucking haunting. I can’t even fathom

“The finish line doesn’t have an expiration date” is a nice sentiment, but an odd analogy. I assure you, if you’re slow enough at a foot race, they will eventually take down the finish line.

The only days you can prove to yourself how strong you are.! Sometimes we are unaware of our own capabilities. We just have to keep pushing ourselves and stay motivated.! 🙌

I have ADHD, too. I was diagnosed last year after years and years of struggling. I've actually been teaching English as a foreign language for the best part of a decade (without a degree, go figure!) and I've found I'm really good at it, but what I'm better at is working with gifted or struggling students and helping them/their parents identify what's causing their issues (and gifted students are very likely to have issues, too!) and get help. Following my own abysmal experience with getting ADHD treatment, and the appalling way so many of y students have been treated, I've decided I want to become a neuropsychologist. I finally got adequate treatment at the end of last summer and since then I've finished a series of coursera courses - more to see if I can actually commit to studying and to get back into studying than for the courses themselves, and I've been really consistent and I've done well on the courses. I wish I'd been treated sooner, but I wasn't, so I just have to make the best of now...
