I dont even care how behind I am. Even if it's late, if feels refreshing once you start on some sort of path with even a little bit of ideas, doing it for yourself. You gain so much maturity that others may not have

it sounds like she isn’t understanding of people’s circumstances. i had a close friend like this as well and we are no longer friends. i want you to know that everyone takes their own path and societies standards of “behind” or “slow” is nonsense. your pace is the perfect pace for YOU and her pace is meaningless to your experience. you’re going to do amazing things no matter how little or how long! you are not a failure 🩷

You aren’t a failure and I’ll be friends with you

i understand :( i tend to keep to myself, so im not gonna act like it’s easy to distance yourself from a close friend based on my personal tendencies. but i will say that sometimes someone like that isn’t always a good person to keep around long term. but it is possible if you give yourself grace. it’s easier said than done, but i hope you’re able to accept your path and your timing and know that she doesn’t dictate your success. i promise you can do this and good luck 🩷🩷
