You’re not behind

Do you ever feel like you're behind?

For a moment, I genuinely did. I'm 33, still single, still figuring out my purpose and the next steps forward and I live as an expat in Shanghai, so the concept of "home" feels somewhat undefined. But that feeling quickly faded, when I realized I’m not behind and this is what I want to share with you.

You are not behind.

You are building.

You are building the life you want, on your terms. You are assembling it piece by piece with intention, creating a foundation so resilient it cannot be broken.

And you are not just building a life…

You are becoming.

You are becoming a better version of yourself.

You are becoming the person your younger self needed and yearned for. You are becoming an inspiration to others, even to those you don't yet realize are watching.

You are believing.

And lastly, you are believing—believing in the strength of your own journey, trusting the timing of your life, and having faith that the path you are on is leading you exactly where you are meant to be.

Your story isn't about being late to someone else's party; it's about curating your own masterpiece. Keep building. Keep becoming. Keep believing.
