You’re Not Behind in Life - You’re Just on Your Own Damn Timeline

You know that moment, when you're elbows-deep in washing up, your hair's clinging on for dear life in a top knot, and suddenly BAM the question hits:

“Am I falling behind in life?”

It pricks your eyes, lingers in your chest, and wraps around your to-do list like ivy. Sneaky, suffocating.

I nearly believed it. Again.

But then I stopped and asked: Behind on WHAT, exactly?

Turns out, what I thought I was “behind” on wasn’t even mine to begin with:

- No house in the suburbs with a pizza oven and boot rack? Must be failing.

- No romantic partner in sight (not even a half-hearted situationship)? Definitely failing.

- No kids. No trust fund. No matching family Christmas jammies? Epic failure.

- Still wearing the same beat-up trainers to teach dance classes? Mortal sin.

Sound familiar?

Every scroll on social media was shouting: "You're running out of time!"

And then it clicked.

None of these milestones meant I was behind. They just meant I wasn’t living on someone else’s bloody timeline.

My life isn't late. It’s just… mine.

Stop Measuring Your Life by Someone Else’s Checklist

Let’s be REAL, feeling behind in life is usually just a symptom of borrowed expectations. You're not broken. You’re just tangled in a narrative that was never written with your joy in mind.

Here’s the radical reframe:

✨ If no one was watching, what would your timeline actually look like?

✨ What if the time you spent worrying about what you don’t have was used to double down on what you do?

✨ What if you stopped waiting for the “right time” and just… started?

Feeling behind in life? You’re Not Behind, You’re Being Brave Enough to Go Your Own Way

You’re not behind. You’re building. Slowly, messily, joyfully. And that takes guts.

Because it’s easy to tick boxes. It’s harder to trust yourself enough to throw the whole damn list out.

So if this hits somewhere in your gut, here’s what I want you to know:

🛑 You don’t need more proof.

🛑 You don’t need a perfect five-year plan.

🛑 You don’t need to earn your way into joy.

You just need to start walking your own way, with messy action and wild self-trust.
