Nothing you can do about the past, try and accept it and look at what's in front of you and do what you can with it. Looking back to the past in regret and resentment only makes you a more bitter person. If you hold on tight to your bad past it prevents you from living the life you have now, which I'm sure in the future you'll wish you had done more with. Is your life ideal? No. Could it be better? Yes. Could it be worse? Probably. You already wasted parts of you life, why waste the rest of it? Don't continue making the same mistakes when you already acknowledge that you made them to begin with, let it motivate and push you to inspire change in your life
Something that may help is understanding the power of our thoughts. The things we think about ourselves can manifest in our everyday lives. If you think negative thoughts about yourself it will manifest that way in your life. If you often think good things about yourself, it will manifest positively in your life. That's a reason why I like praying to God, asking God to aid me in getting what I want, helps me prioritise those things in my life. Also to create a positive feedback loop where you can cultivate a better outlook e.g. being grateful to be alive, good health, good food etc.
Praying = manifesting

It's hard getting things together later on in life, but it's not impossible. It may not be ideal, but it's not too late to lead a purposeful life.
