I’ve been doing my best, showing up, doing the work, trying to stay focused. But some days it just feels like I’m stuck while everyone else is moving forward. I know things take time. I know I’m not alone in this. But still… it gets heavy. Sometimes I wonder if all the effort is really going to pay off. If you’ve felt this way too, how do you keep going? How do you remind yourself that it’s okay to not have it all figured out yet?
Just needed to let it out. I’m not giving up, just tired. And I think that’s okay too.
I’m trying… but it’s hard not to feel like I’m falling behind.

You’re not falling behind, you’re carrying more than most people see. Rest if you must, but don’t quit because the breakthrough often comes just after the breakdown.
I think everyone has had a feeling similar to this. If it’s ongoing for you, it’s possible you’re not on the right life path. I hope if that’s the case that you are brave enough to take steps to feel like you are on the right path for yourself and your life.
I totally get that, feeling stuck while everyone else seems to zoom ahead is the worst. The trick is to celebrate the tiny wins you barely notice and remind yourself growth isn’t a race; it’s messy and slow, and that’s totally okay. You’re already showing up, and that’s way more than most do. Keep going, even if it’s just one small step at a time.
