ONE DAY, IT JUST HITS YOU.. You wake up, and life isn't what you pictured it to be. You've done everything "right," but somehow, you still feel like you're running late - to a life everyone else seems to be living already. You clap for others with genuine love, but somewhere in the quiet, you ache - wondering when it will finally be your turn. You smile at baby showers, anniversaries, but your chest feels heavy - not from jealousy, but from longing. Maybe you were never behind. Maybe you were just being softened. Maybe your timing was sacred - not delayed. And one day, you'll look back with tears and gratitude, whispering - "I get it now. Every no was protection. Every pause was preparation. Nothing was wasted. Because the life I was waiting for needed this version of me to hold it."🕊️🤍
