Becoming Takes Time.

_{There is pressure to be something now. To be successful. To be healed. To have a purpose. To know what comes next.}

_{But some things take time. And that is not a weakness. It is just the truth.}

_{A lot of what you are building inside yourself takes time to form. Peace. Confidence. Trust. Direction. These are not things that appear overnight. They come slowly. They come gently. And while it is tempting to compare your timeline with someone else's, try to remember this. Not everything visible is real, and not everything real is visible just yet.}

_{You are not running late. You are not behind. You are growing. And growth is quiet. It happens in the in-betweens. In the ordinary days. In the moments that feel like nothing is changing, but everything is slowly shifting underneath.}

_{Be patient with yourself. What is yours will meet you. What is meant for you will find. Some things just need time. And that includes you.}

_{All my love,}

_{Olamide from MANI}
