There is no rush on life my friend, there is no reason that you should not be living in your own moment.
Nowadays we are all connected and that’s amazing, but I see more and more people are comparing where they are in life - Whether it’s to people they went to school with or people the same age as them who have/look to have accomplished so much more. I’m not going to lie, I’ve had times in my life where I’ve thought to my myself, “What the fuck am I doing?” Everyone around me is doing great or looks to be and here I am out of school (at the time), stressed out. Yes, I’ve got plans and goals I’m working towards but everyone looks five steps ahead of me. I was never envious or mad, I was just upset with myself. Comparing WILL take you out the moment you’re in and now that that moment is gone, its been wasted on bullshit.
No one wants to admit it but y’all its okay - it happens to the best of us, just pick yourself up. Tell yourself, “This is my life!” If I told you you’re exactly where you need to be right now, would you believe me? If you’re in an ugly situation, best believe you’re going to learn something that I hope you apply to your life in order to better it. If you’re on the come up of something amazing, just know you’ve worked your ass off for it.
It’s your life, take it at your own pace. You know in high school when they give you your college graduation year, “YOU’RE GOING TO BE CLASS OF 2022"!” - FORGET THAT., you graduate when you can. Now, I’m not saying laze off and be chilling at your parents house until you’re 25 and finally go okay, I’ll go to college and still expect them to pay for everything. I’m saying if you wanted to travel the world, start a business, or take 1/2 classes at a time so instead of graduating in 4 years it’s now 6 - you can do that.
Don’t let people tell you how to live YOUR life. As long as you’re working towards something that you’re passionate about, as long as you’re putting that work IT WILL MANIFEST.
