Be patient with yourself. You are still arriving.

We're very patient with others. We tell our friends, "Give yourself time." We tell children, "You'll get there."

Then we turn around and demand that we be finished already. Healed already. Successful already.

You are still arriving. You're on the bridge, not at the station. The fog will clear. The town will come into view.

Speak to yourself the way you'd speak to someone you love who's still on the way.
