I turned 25 today and needed somewhere to talk
Sometimes it feels like life started without you.
Everyone is moving forward and you’re standing still.
People talk about achievements, relationships, milestones.
You smile and nod but inside you feel late.
Late to success, late to love, late to becoming someone.
You try not to compare but it’s everywhere.
Birthdays feel heavier than they should.
Today is my birthday I turned 25.
And instead of celebrating, I felt the need to talk.
I didn’t know who to talk to.
So I made a Reddit account just to say this out loud.
Time keeps asking questions I don’t have answers for.
I wonder if I missed my chance or took the wrong road.
The truth is maybe I didn’t fail I just took longer.
Not everyone arrives at the same time.
Some paths are slower because they’re harder.
Being late doesn’t mean I’m lost.
It just means my story isn’t finished yet.
