It Took Me So Much Longer

It took me so much longer to decide…

… to start living

… to stop comparing

… to decide to live my own life

… to unlearn

… to build some stories

… to slow down

… to stop running

… to stop searching and instead take the time to be found.

It may’ve taken me longer, but eh whatever. I’m here now. What took me longer to learn, is now a deeper part of my story. What took me longer to learn, now gives me an audience to speak and relate to that I never could have shared with before. What took me longer taught me patience, and forced me to develop the areas I was weak in.

I’m glad I wasn’t the first. I’m glad I failed instead. I’m glad I am where I am.
