you are not behind.

there is no race.
there is no finish line.
there is no clock running out on your healing, your growth, your life.

it is easy to believe you are behind.
behind in success, behind in love, behind in healing.
you measure your life against others, against invisible timelines, against who you thought you would be by now.

but you are not behind.
you are exactly where you are meant to be to learn what you are here to learn.
your life is not late. your growth is not wrong. your heart is not failing.

the milestones you thought you missed are not the milestones that define you.
what matters is not how fast you move, but how true you are to yourself along the way.

healing is not a race.
becoming is not a competition.
living is not a deadline.

you are not late to your own life.
you are right on time.
