🌸 A Soft Start
There’s a clock that lives in your chest.
Not on your wall. Not in the sky.
And certainly not in someone else’s plan for you.
That inner clock runs on soul time—
the rhythm of becoming, not producing.
The truth is, you are not late.
Not for your purpose.
Not for your path.
Not for your own unfolding.
🌀 A Gentle Truth
“Behind” is a story sold to keep you chasing.
But softness asks: What if there’s nothing to catch up to?
What if your timing has been perfect for who you are becoming?
You are not a task to be completed.
You are a life to be lived, slowly and fully.
💡 Try This
Take a moment to write down one area where you feel “behind.”
Now ask yourself:
- Who defined the timeline?
- What are you measuring yourself against?
- Is this story helping you soften or tighten?
Then, write a new sentence:
“I am exactly where I need to be to become who I truly am.”
Whisper it. Write it. Walk with it.
💭 Parting Thought
You are not behind.
You are right on time—
for your own becoming,
your own remembering,
your own return.
