"If you feel like you're running out of time, read this: You're not. This is just the story we've been sold, and it has become the shadow that lingers over everything we do. Leaving us questioning why it didn't happen sooner or didn't last longer- but there isn't a designated time in life for anything, and although it's hard not to, your timeline shouldn't be compared to the person standing next to you. Just because the timing was right for them, doesn't mean it would be right for you. There is enough happiness, love, and opportunity to go round, no matter when it happens. Your life shouldn't feel like a race, because it isn't one. Where there are fast days, there should be slow days that follow, days where you can reflect and recalibrate because everything you are going through right now is preparing you for the next chapter, every challenge directly informing the decisions that you're about to make for yourself. Being present will show you what is worth taking with you along the way as you navigate life because the destination won't bring you peace unless you let the journey teach you who you are, and just how much capacity you have to experience change, both within yourself and in the world. You aren't running out of time, so don't be afraid to slow down. Things fall into place when we create space for them to."
