Individuals
Now you remember
You are not meant, you were not built, you were not created to be like them
You’re not supposed to evolve the way they do.
You don’t have to evolve at the same time as everyone else
Everyone is meant to climb their own stairs
you’re not meant to follow
you’re meant to watch until they reach the top of their own individuality
if you have not reached your stairs,
don’t panic and don’t compare
you go at your own pace.
you learn and watch as people mold their figures of who they want to become.
Don’t worry even if you are still at step one you don’t stop there, you keep going.
And don’t let the peers around you successes get you down
if anything they should bring you up and motivate you.
don’t use the time to compare and criticize
but rather to learn and use to your own ability and your own strength
