We all grow up watching others running behind dreams, money, relationships, success, and expectations. Somewhere, it becomes a belief that we have to run with the world, or we will be left behind. But is that true? Does living fast mean living right? For me, the answer is simple—No. I believe in living life at my own pace, in my own style, not rushing just because others are. Living normally for me means living peacefully, with stability, and without the pressure of comparisons. It took me years, pain, and experiences to understand this, but today I can say it loud: my slow pace is my strength.
What Living Normally Means to Me
Living normally doesn't mean being like everyone else. For me, it means having a stable life, emotionally and financially. If there’s no money, life gets stressful. If there’s no love or care, life feels empty. So for me, a normal life means peace in the heart, food on the table, and someone who genuinely cares. I don’t want fancy things—I just want stability, silence, and sincerity.

When People Don’t Understand Your Healing
Yes, I’ve been judged. People think I show off, or that I act like I’m the only one with feelings. They say, “You’re just a human like everyone else.” And yes, I am. But I’m a human who’s been broken and still chose to rebuild, slowly and silently. People don’t always understand mental health or emotional recovery. They want you to act fine, smile, and behave like nothing ever happened. But I chose a different path. I chose to listen to myself and honor my feelings.
I stopped caring about those who laugh at my healing journey. Because healing is personal—it’s not for the world to understand, it’s for me to survive.
Small Changes, Big Impact
I used to hold on to people who didn’t value me, thinking maybe one day they would. I waited, cried, and kept giving chances. But then I asked myself—What about me? Where am I in all this?
That’s when I began to change—slowly. I didn’t jump into a new life overnight. I just took small steps. I let go of people who ignored me. I started saying what I wanted, clearly and firmly. If someone didn’t care, I didn’t beg anymore. I told them either love me truly or leave me peacefully. This change was for me. Not to show the world anything, but to finally respect myself.
What a Normal Day Feels Like
For me, a normal day is peaceful. No drama, no overthinking, no one making me feel small. I love mornings when I wake up early, in silence, with no noise or pressure. I have my tea or coffee in peace, maybe go for a small walk, or do something simple like watch a movie or go for a drive.
Even one day like this—without expectations, without fake people, without emotional pain—feels like a blessing. I don’t need a luxury vacation to feel alive. I just need a calm moment where I feel like myself again.
I Don’t Compare My Life Anymore
I used to feel bad seeing others moving fast—getting married, making money, building families, living "perfect" lives. But now, I look at myself and feel proud. I had deep wounds and still managed to smile. I’ve taken bold steps people are scared to even think about. I’ve left toxic love, stood alone, and healed myself. That’s not slow—that’s strong.
So no, I don’t compare anymore. I know many who appear fast but are lost inside. I might walk slowly, but I walk with strength and self-worth.
Don’t Leave Yourself Behind
If someone is reading this and feels left out in life or love, let me tell you this: It’s okay if people leave you. Just don’t leave yourself. You may feel like you’re standing alone, but one day you’ll realize you were standing with the most important person in your life—you.
Don’t wait for someone to come save you. Save yourself with love. Cook for yourself, go on drives, buy yourself a gift, cry if needed, then wipe your own tears. That’s power. That’s real self-love.
How My Pace Gave Me Power
Once I started living on my terms, slowly and calmly, I discovered my real worth. I realized I don’t need validation from anyone. I don’t need someone to complete me. I’m complete, just as I am.
My confidence didn’t come from compliments or success. It came from surviving hell and still choosing peace. Choosing my pace gave me freedom—freedom from pressure, from fake relationships, from needing approval.
A Moment of True Freedom
I can’t describe it perfectly in words. But there are moments when I feel completely free. When I open the window and feel the soft air on my face. When I drink water, and feel its freshness. When I wake up early and hear the quietness of morning. These are not big things, but they feel like magic.
You can’t explain the feeling of loving yourself deeply. It’s like breathing for the first time after being underwater for too long.
You Are Not Late—You Are Right on Time
Life is not a race. It’s not about who reaches where first. It’s about how you feel while walking your path. If you are tired, stop. If you feel lost, sit with yourself. Cry, rest, breathe, and then rise again—on your time.
Set your own pace. Walk your own path. And live your life—not how others expect you to—but how your soul deserves to.
Because your story is not a delay, it’s a miracle in progress.
