Better now

Better late than never.

I’ve told myself that a lot.

As the years ticked by.

As others did the expected.

Took the steps.

Collected the degrees, the paychecks, the accomplishments.

I’d tell you that I took my own path.

That I wandered, and returned enlightened.

Ready to shine my light into the abyss.

Fact: I just wandered.

Finding my way now.

But I’m not late.

I’m where I’m supposed to be.

And when.

Better now than never.
