Calm down because you havent done anything wrong.
Maybe youve spent years chasing after the wrong person.
Or maybe youve spent years majoring in something youre not interested in pursuing anymore.

Calm down because youre not falling behind.
Theres not some sort of timeline that youre supposed to be keeping up with as the years pass.
There isnt a place youshouldbe right now.
Life isnt a race.
Youre not supposed to rush to be the first person to the finish line.
Your journey is entirely your own.
You shouldnt be comparing yourself to your old classmates or cousins.
You should be focused on yourself because their wins arent your losses.
Calm down because you havent done anything wrong.
Maybe youve spent years chasing after the wrong person.
Or maybe youve spent years majoring in something youre not interested in pursuing anymore.
Theres nothing wrong with that.
It doesnt mean you screwed up.
It means youve learned more about yourself during these last few years.
It means youre growing into the person youre meant to be.
Thats a good thing.
Calm down because youre not too old to make a change.
Youre allowed to change your mind at any time.
You shouldnt feel guilty about it.
You shouldnt feel like all the years leading up to today were wasted.
They brought you to where you are right now.
Calm down because you still have plenty of time to make a name for yourself.
You dont have to reach success in your twenties.
Most people are still figuring themselves out at this age.
Most people dont have it all together even if it looks like they do.
Remember, social media can be deceiving.
You dont know the behind the scenes stories.
Calm down because no one is judging you as hard as youve been judging yourself.
Youre your own worst enemy.
Despite what your overthinking is telling you, no one is ashamed of you.
No one is disappointed in you.
And if they are, thats too bad.
Youve been trying your best and thats all it’s possible for you to ever do.
Calm down because dwelling over every little mistake youve made in the past isnt going to help you.
You shouldnt berate yourself over how you should have done better or worked harder or put in more effort.
You shouldnt get too upset over the what-ifs because theyre no longer a possibility.
Calm down because youre doing so much better than you think.
it’s crucial that you give yourself more credit.
