10 years did pass for dreaming something, which was impossible to catch as a reality. Another ten years was to fight mental illness, where was no winning situation.
Life situation is 86% completely different.
A con: Some would say: my life situation is pretty much pathetic.
A pro: Due my excellent amount of experience and knowledge, the only pathetic is you.
So yeah, 20 years is actually long time, but if saying "where it did go?", sounds like not much content there to remember for?
Of course, it is more about how you perceive time.
EDIT: Just in case, Please read it between lines, thank you.
