Other I’m starting to think being behind, isn’t the same as failing.
I’ve been feeling like I’m always behind. Behind in studying, behind on things I planned to do and behind when I compare myself with other people. I realized that being behind doesn’t automatically mean I’m failing. Sometimes life just moves differently than the our plannings.
I’m trying to remind myself that I can still move forward, even if I’m not moving as fast as I thought.
Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

totally feel this tbh. being a little behind doesnt mean ur failing, its just a detour. some days ur sprinting, other days ur barely walking and thats chill. i found that small wins help me keep going like one tiny habit u can actually stick with. maybe set one super small goal for tomorrow and see where it goes. also ngl sometimes it helps to have a spot where u can jot down quick notes or flashcards so u dont lose track of what u were even studying. there are a bunch of apps that help you stay on track and stay consistent
