you’re not falling behind. you are still young and have a whole life ahead of you. you have enough time to explore things u love and experience your life and make your goals come true and find reasons to live. take things one day at a time and don’t let the fear of falling behind stop you because life isn’t a race.

To be whole - to be authentic you must embrace the parts of yourself you don’t like. The parts of yourself you hate. The mistakes and the wrong you have done. The shadow and the demons within you. To be whole you must embrace the whole and use it. Both positive and negative. To move forward, accept who you are, what you have done, and take responsibility for what you have done and who you are. You are not defined by your flaws or mistakes, but how you choose to use those experiences is how how you define yourself.

Let someone love you the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.
