4 year on and off text dynamic

Me (21M) and this girl (20) have had an on-and-off thing since high school. Back then she actually pursued me first — sexting, trying to get me alone, offered to drive me home — and I was too scared to do anything. Recently when I brought it up she said “maybe” we would’ve dated and “but you were scared of me.”

Over the years there’s been a lot of sexual tension over text. She’s said sexual things, got jealous over another girl, called me and stayed on the phone 35 minutes, called me “daddy” then deleted it, said we’re like “Kim and Kanye.” The problem is it’s always been text/phone and never in person.

A few weeks ago she said she might come home soon and when I suggested hanging out she was enthusiastic about it. Then I ruined it — I got drunk and kept calling her while she was on spring break to the point where her friend’s boyfriend answered. She eventually said “leave me alone.” I didn’t push after that but sent one emotional text which she read and ignored. It’s been a week of silence. She didn’t block me and has blocked me before.

I’m transferring to her university in August and moving into the same apartment complex as her.

Is this recoverable? Do I reach out or wait?

Had a 4 year charged thing with a girl, fumbled it, she finally started showing interest again, then I blew it. Is it recoverable?

21 and lost in life.

Hey everyone, I’m lost and don’t know what to do. I failed out of high school and dropped out, was focused on stupid shit that now I realize didn’t matter in the grand scheme of life. Was stuck in the past at the time as well. I was always a floater friend, was never really included in things and had a pretty awful reputation. Since I dropped out, I’ve been pretty much completely isolated, have had no real friends for like 4 years now. Spent a lot of time training Muay Thai the past 3 years but I had to give that up as well due to an injury. I heavily regret not focusing on school and taking the traditional path, seeing everyone I used to know in college right now having the time of their life in frats and shit really cuts deep, I want that to be my life so bad, but I’m stuck living at home with my parents doing nothing.

I got my GED in February, enrolled in a 8 week courses at a local community college. Classes started March 9th and I’m already severely behind on work, basically have done nothing. I’m failing at this again too due to depression, I just don’t see the point in trying when the life I wanted has already passed me by. What do I do? How do I find the motivation to keep trying? I feel as though my young years to have fun and do all the stupid college kid shit is over, I was planning to transfer to a university in August but I just feel like it won’t go well. I turn 22 in October and will have aged out of the social scene by then. I still want to make memories but I feel the time for that has passed.
