When you feel you missed the boat
Somewhere along the way, life happened. Not the life I pictured when I was 25 that one was linear, ambitious, tidy. The one I got was messy, unpredictable, and full of plot twists I never saw coming. Careers shifted, relationships changed, dreams got delayed sometimes by choice, sometimes by circumstance. And for a while, I thought maybe I’d missed my chance. Maybe the moment to “make it” had already passed.
But that thought never sat right with me. Because when I look around, I see people real people who’ve lived enough life to know what matters, and yet still carry this quiet spark. The desire to start again. To do the thing they’ve always wanted to do. To shine, not because they’re chasing validation, but because they’re finally ready to show up as themselves.
That’s what Still Time to Shine is about. It’s not about pretending everything is fine or glossing over the hard parts. It’s about honoring the detours. It’s about reclaiming our light not the surface-level kind, but the kind that comes from depth, from truth, from living through it and choosing to grow anyway.
This space is for those of us who’ve lived enough to know that timelines are overrated. That dreams can evolve. That it’s never too late to change course, rebuild, create, or believe again. The shine isn’t gone it’s just waiting for you to remember it’s still yours.
So here’s to second winds and new seasons. To quiet courage. To building something meaningful at our own pace, on our own terms. Because it’s not over. Not even close.
There’s still time to shine.
