like life has already passed you by? Like all your good options are gone, because you made a few poor choices?

No. I haven't made any big choices yet (I'm 14- 15 by this Friday).
Stop wasting time thinking that and get activating yourself once more.
I listened to a lecture by a man who was telling his life story. He said, "I always thought I would do it later on, just later, and now, looking back, I realize I haven't done anything at all." He was in his 50s, I think. Because he had this rare heart problem (what exactly, I forget. But it had something to do with a small hole naturally somewhere), he felt victim all his life. He couldn't join in activities, or live to his father's expectations, 'cause it was hard to exert himself. He felt sorry for himself! And would excuse himself for his deficiencies, and NEVER improve, or go far in any path. It took his father's death to wake him up.
Life only passes you by when you're dead. Since you're alive enough to type, I think I can safely conclude you still have life in you. Consider these quotes:
"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go" -T.S. Eliot.
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas A. Edison
" We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw.
"Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian"- Shari R. Barr
"Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies" Ann Landers
"You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take" - Wayne Garktay
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved" William Jennings Bryan.
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear" - Mark Twain
"If you need a helping hand, look at the end of your wrist."
"if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got."
"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt
"Every mighty oak was once just a little nut that stood it's ground."

I've made more than a few poor choices but I refuse to give up hope that there are still good options ahead!!

Yes, sometimes. Mostly though lately, I feel like I am getting a late start in life. Like plans I thought I made years ago would pan out and of course, they didnt, and here I am trying to make a NEW fricken life plan at 31. I'm not quite feeling the pressure of biological clock, but majority of all my friends are either married and have kids, or have done one or the other, they have their jobs, whether they like them or not, and I am trying to figure out a new career after having no choice but to pretty much abandon my old one. I chose work to survive over school after high school, now I wish I went to a few years of college to have a degree under my belt. So yeah, almost every day I feel like life is passing me by because I go through days of where I'm just not sure wtf to do or focus on. Thank God for my man, who I definitely lean on and is so smart and grounded that I feed off of him sometimes.
BUT...things always look different in the morning. I don't dwell on things for long. I have my days where I am fully feeling annoyed and sorry for myself trying to figure it out, and I have days where I'm feeling ready for anything new and my ambition and impatience with everything above just burns me on to say F it, and I do what I gotta do to get to the next page of life.

Yes, at times! But as long as we have breath in us, there's nothing that can stop us from doing the things we want and making those dreams come true. Even if youre in your 50s or 60s, life is what we make it!

I never conquered, rarely came
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
