In today's Friday reflection, the topic we are talking about is time. How in our twenties and thirties, it can feel like it’s running out.

Like we should be further ahead, doing more, being more. But here’s the truth: becoming is not a race.

If you have a notebook or just want to think along, here’s your gentle journal prompt for today:

• What’s something I’ve wanted to begin but told myself it’s too late?
• What’s one tiny, imperfect step I could take this week to start anyway?
• What’s the timeline I’ve been measuring myself against and do I even want to keep it?

Write it down, leave yourself a voice note or just let it sit with you as you move through the day.

Fridays are for slowing down, remembering what matters, and being human. You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re just becoming.

Thank you for being here for choosing to check in instead of check out.

You’re already in the club.
