It’s easy to feel like you’re late.
Late to the career. Late to the healing. Late to the clarity. Late to the version of yourself you thought would’ve arrived by now.
You scroll and compare. You measure your timing against someone else’s chapter. You wonder if maybe you missed something. A sign. A moment. A turning point.
But what if you’re not late?
What if you’re right on time, for your life?
You’re not behind, You’re becoming.
Becoming isn’t linear.
It’s cyclical. Spiral-shaped. Filled with detours and false starts and quiet returns to the same lesson, but with deeper understanding.
Becoming takes time because it’s not about reaching some fixed endpoint.
It’s about unfolding.
And that unfolding can’t be rushed.
Some chapters take longer to write.
Some seasons ask you to rest instead of build.
Some paths don’t look impressive, but they’re exactly what your nervous system needed.
You are not behind if your timeline looks different.
You are not behind if you’re still figuring it out.
You are not behind if your becoming takes longer than you thought.
Because life isn’t a race. It’s not a sequence of boxes to check.
It’s a relationship, with yourself, with your choices, with your capacity.
And right now, your job isn’t to catch up.
It’s to tune in.
To listen.
To trust the pace that makes sense for your nervous system, your body, your soul.
You’re not behind.
You’re right on time, for you.
