Feeling Behind in Life

It is so easy to feel like you are not where you are supposed to be. Maybe your friends seem more confident. Maybe people your age are already in college, already in love, already making big decisions while you are still figuring it all out. And in your mind, that must mean you are behind.

But here is something important. You are not late to your life. There is no official timeline for growing up, healing, figuring things out, or becoming who you are meant to be.

Feeling behind often comes from comparing your path to someone else’s. But the truth is, everyone has different starting points, different obstacles, and different timing. What you see on the outside is not always the full picture.

You are allowed to move at your own pace. You are allowed to take longer to find what feels right. You are not failing just because your life looks different than someone else’s.

You are still becoming. And that is more than enough.
