There were days that were a reminder to me that I may be running out of time already. I've gained a lot of pressure from wondering if I can still see myself in the life I pictured years ago. I watch souls consistently soar while I am stocked up with far-flung goals I have yet to achieve.
But I stopped caring about other people's timelines; maybe I'm meant for the "slow process." I don't want to rush myself just because others are already far ahead. I don't want to race. I am choosing to go with the flow.
With every broken bone, I yearn to live in this existence. I yearn to not just survive in this life.
I know allot of people struggle with the feeling of being behind in life. Me too but there’s something else I’m more afraid of and that’s the fact that I have too many hobbies or want too many things. I want to learn to play the ukulele, I want to crochet pretty things, I want to watch anime, I want to learn new languages, I want to watch funny youtube videos, I want to play video games, I want to listen to music, I want to go on walks and enjoy nature, I want to watch movies and series, I want to read books, I want to exchange letters with my penpals, I want to travel to places, I want to excerise and take good care of my body, I want to go on date nights with my love, I want to write, I want to go to the theater, I want to spend time with my parents...
How the hell am I going to manage all of that?????

In this article, I will attempt to answer the question, ‘what…
Amatonormativity has destroyed so many people's understanding and acceptance of themselves, and it's heartbreaking.
Yes, it is normal to be in your 20s, 30s, or older and not have lost your virginity, had a first kiss, or a partner. It is normal to say that you aren't ready for those things, too! It is normal if your life doesn't follow the "college graduate -> engagement -> buying a home -> 2.5 kids and a dog" trajectory that so many people have idealized.
So many people associate maturity with losing your virginity, or having a first kiss, or a serious relationship, and I think that's a dangerous association. Maturity isn't gained through those things, and you don't have to have those experiences to be considered "mature" or "grown." It is not a bad thing to go at your pace. Nobody else can live your life but you. If you end up having those experiences, that's great! But it should be done because you want to experience them, not because you feel "broken" and "immature" without them.
There is no such thing as being "behind in life", there's only where you are on the path that you are creating. To be "behind" means, to be behind someone walking the same path as you. "No one is walking the same path as you"
I’m working on a new comic for my Patreon/Gleafer (several, actually, so jump on in, the water is fiiiiine) and I’m STOKED about this era!
“A King and His Castle”
Alternate universe that initially starts canon and then swerved sharply off course into a chased-by-demons-in-a-cemetery hellscape and a laudanum fueled demon babbling confessions and curses the whole time.
