You Are Not Behind

A friend texted: “I feel like I’m falling behind.” I stared at it for a minute. Behind what?

Life isn’t a race. It’s a rhythm. Some weeks are silent beats. Others are crescendos…

You are not behind. YOU ARE BECOMING. Life blooms on its own schedule, and rest is part of growth. Let's stop measuring ourselves by output and start honoring our pace.

Write this somewhere visible: “I am not behind. I am exactly where I need to be.” Repeat it every time anxiety shows up today.

Pause. Breathe. Begin again. That’s enough.
