Life is not a race you know

There is no first place or last place

There is only a place

And that place is living your life to the fullest

At your own pace

Not at your mom's or dad's

Or sister's or brother's

It's all about you

It is your life after all

So if it takes you longer to finish college

No shame at all

At least you are going to finish

You didn't give up or quit

And when that diploma is in your hands

It'll all be worth it

Don't rush to get married and have a family

Everything in life happens at the right time

You'll find your person

You'll have that family of your own

One day

Don't rush it

You want it to be just right

Some people might be ahead of you

Some might be behind of you

But who cares?

That's their pace

Not yours

What you are doing and how you are doing it

Works for the one person who matters: YOU!

Everything happens at a certain time

Everything happens for a reason

And everyone goes at their own pace

So go out in the world

And live life at your pace

Live it your way and never look back!
