The pressure you feel is not a deadline. It's a story someone else wrote about you.

You inherited it. A parent's expectation, a teacher's quiet glance, a friend who moved faster. Somewhere along the way, their timeline became your measuring stick.

You're not behind. You're not late. You're on a path that doesn't have a clock.

Let that sink in. Then let it go.
