I Am Not Behind—I’m in Training
Sometimes it feels like I’m late.
Like everyone else figured it out faster.
That I missed the window. Missed the shot.
But that’s a lie comparison tells me.
I’m not behind. I’m in training.
This is the work. The grind. The lonely hours.
The reps no one sees. The setbacks that sharpen the blade.
Every struggle is part of the build.
I’m not behind—I’m just not done yet.
