Feel Like You’re Falling Behind? It's Okay If Your Pace Looks Different

Feel Like You’re Falling Behind? It's Okay If Your Pace Looks Different

Update: 2025-08-20

Description

When everyone else seems to be moving faster – checking boxes, hitting milestones, and living picture-perfect lives – it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

But that feeling isn’t always the truth.

This short reflection is a reminder that there is no universal timeline. There’s no race. And the invisible checklists the world hands us? You don’t have to follow them.

You’re allowed to move at your own pace – even if it looks slower, even if it looks different.

You’re not behind.

You’re becoming.
