Gentle reminder: your progress does not equal your worth. It doesn't make you less worthy if you don't make progress the way others do. Each season has its own pace, some unique lessons to teach you to help you become who you are meant to become. Don't rush through this. Embrace the path, no matter how difficult it may seem at first. Remember that there is no comparison of your journey with others. Drop that burden off your shoulder. Look forward with hope that there is more to your life than where you are now. Look back with gratitude that you have made it this far. Know that you are doing your best and that is all that matters.
