Think of it this way. If you didn't do this for 7 years, would you have regretted it ? There are lot of people who are stuck in their miserable corporate/shitty jobs and want to do their own thing. Are they really better off than you ? I would say No. You did something YOU wanted to do. Even if it failed, you learned a lot and should have no regrets. You did what you wanted to do. Many of us don't have that luxury or the guts.
