You’re Not Behind, You’re Becoming

…Be the Hero in your story.

It’s hard to feel like you’re making progress when all you can see is everyone else’s highlight reel.

– Someone just bought a car.
– Someone else just got a fully-funded scholarship in their dream school.
– Another friend is now “Head of Content Strategy” in some startup in the UK.

And then there’s you.
Still figuring out if your ideas make sense.
Still trying to decide if you should post it… or delete it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, this is for you.
Let me tell you something I wish someone told me earlier:
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.

✨ Some wins will come early.
✨ Some will take years to unfold.
✨ And some won’t even make sense until you look back and see how perfectly timed they were.

I used to think I was late to the party, that I should’ve figured this out years ago.
But you know what?
If I had launched earlier, I would’ve launched half-baked.
If I had gotten that “big opportunity” earlier, I wouldn’t have had the systems to sustain it.

Growth isn’t just about speed.
It’s about roots.

So if today you’re feeling slow, stuck, or unsure —
You’re not failing.
You’re forming.

Keep learning.
Keep showing up.
Keep becoming.

Because when the doors open, and they will…
You’ll be ready.
