A Reminder for Anyone Who Feels Behind Right Now

One with a few words but giant vibes as we wrap up 2025.

Here’s a snackable truth: the calendar may be running out, but you’re not. You’re still moving—sometimes with momentum, other times like you’re dragging a mountain in some dusty, worn-out flip-flops.

Didn’t cross off all your finish lines? Shake it off, Luv. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Read this if you feel behind (though you’re not).

You don’t need to rush this season

I’m calling this an active change, and you’re allowed to keep going at this pace.

You don’t need to justify your pace. It’s time for you to enjoy this, and all the seasons—tied to a holiday or not.

Whether you think you’re late, or someone told you it’s late, it isn’t. You don’t owe anyone proof. And if they push it? Forget them.

We get to choose.

To change our minds.

To reshape what we want or what we can manage.

Kick the “Shit, I’m late” mindset hard on its entire arse.
And if it comes back up, kick it again. Hard.
Repeat until the heifer stays down.

If you even sense a hint of an “I’m late” sneaking in, replace it with “I’m becoming”.

That’s what I’m doing… so say it with me.


And keep saying it until it sticks.

We all need a reminder from time to time. Pause, breathe, and know you’re more than enough. Share this if someone you love needs it today.
