This Is Your Time...

 Maybe today you woke up already tired.
(Gosh, do I know this feeling.)

Maybe your brain feels like a junk drawer of “I shoulds” and “what the heck happened to me?”

Maybe you’re wondering how it’s even possible to feel this exhausted, even when nothing big happened—
No crash. No explosion.

Just life.
Stacking itself on your shoulders until even the small stuff feels too heavy.

I know.
I think we all know that feeling.
(But most people are too tired or too proud to say it out loud.)

So let's say it together:

Take it back anyway.

Not perfectly.
Not when you feel ready.
Not when the stars finally align and life rolls out a red carpet and the crowd cheers wildly.

Take it back tired.
Take it back messy.

Take it back when no one else seems to care.
Take it back even if you’re crawling toward it.

Because if you’re waiting for perfect conditions,
you’ll be waiting forever.

This is your life.
This is your story.
This is YOUR TIME.

(Yeah, straight-up Goonies style.)

“This is our time. Our time down here.”
— Mikey, The Goonies (1985)

Not later.
Not someday.

Now.

You’re not broken.
You’re overdue to rise.
Overdue to stop living on autopilot.
Overdue to stop giving yourself away to convenience, exhaustion, or fear.

Overdue to grab life by the hands and say:
"Hey, I’m not done yet."

You don’t owe anyone a comeback.
You don’t owe the world an explanation or filtered social media post.

You owe yourself the real thing.

It doesn’t start when you feel ready.
It doesn’t start after one more failed Monday.

It starts now.

Right in the middle of the mess.
Right in the middle of the doubt.
Right when you feel like you have nothing left — that’s when you take it back.

Because you were meant for this.

And you’re enough.

So stand up.
Dust off.

Take a deep breath.

Open your mind.

Move your feet.

And take it back.
Take it ALL back.

Because no one’s handing it to you.
But it’s still yours to claim.

🔥

You’re not too far gone.
You’re right on time.

You've got this!
