IT ALL DEPENDS ON TIME

You're going to find the things that make you feel free in life. You're going to fall into the deepest love with another human being, & with yourself. You're going to discover the things that fill you with purpose, the things that make you want to rise each morning. You're going to feel hope cracking within all of the dark the past has buried within you, you're going to uncover all of that light. You're going to be okay. You're going to figure things out. But you must understand that there is no set timeline for this kind of discovery, there is no checklist for this kind of growth. You may fall in love tomorrow, or you may fall in love ten years from now. You might discover your passion the day after you graduate, or you might be fifty years old before you finally find the thing that causes your heart to be ache with happiness. Whatever it is, just give it time. Be gentle with yourself, do not rush the way you stretch into the person you're becoming. Don't scramble to fill your life with things that aren't for you just because you feel like you're falling behind. You aren't falling behind, you're falling into yourself. Keep going. Everything that is meant to be yours will be yours. It'll come.
