your own timeline

you were never late to your own life.

One day, you'll realize you were never behind. You were just measuring your life with someone else's timeline.

The timeline you thought you were failing to meet was never a real thing. It was a story, inherited and repeated, that had nothing to do with your specific path or the pace at which your particular life needed to unfold.

You will stop glancing sideways at everyone else's progress and start looking forward at your own—arriving exactly when you are meant to, not a single moment too late.
