I think we completely misunderstood what “wasting your life” looks like
It probably doesn't look like lying in bed doing nothing for 30 years. It looks normal. You wake up, answer messages, go to work, scroll for a bit, deal with whatever feels urgent, tell yourself you'll start that thing when life gets less hectic, and go to sleep. Repeat that often enough and five years can disappear without a single memorable catastrophe. That's what scares me. A wasted life doesn't necessarily feel wasted while you're living it. It can feel productive, responsible, even successful. You can spend decades efficiently doing things that never mattered much to you. Maybe the question isn't whether you're doing enough with your life. Maybe it's whether the things keeping you so busy deserve this much of it.
