#falling behind

[r1ngs-of-f1r3]

And the sun's engaged to the sky / And my best friend's found a new guy / I'm only getting older / I never had a shoulder to cry on / Someone to call mine / Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind. - Laufey's 'Falling Behind'

(I did have someone to call mine but in the past and even that wasn't real love or irl.)

I decided to pick up where I left off on Kamen Rider Zeztz after the Baku cured the chef. My god... I think I slowly dropped off after they terminated the original actress for Gozyu-Unicorn from Gozyuger.

And isnt that just it? The feeling of having fallen behind everyone. Hating how slowly you seem to be developing compared to your peers.

It hadnt always been like this, has it?

As a child it seemed you were ahead of them, so why are you so slow now? You were the mature one, the grownup, mature kid one second then the next a teen frozen in time, afraid of what comes next. You know you should be better… what does that even mean anymore?

You don’t know anymore and all you can do to stay afloat is take life one numbing day at a time.

Running out of time

I'm still young, but why does it feel like I'm running out of time?

When you’re younger, life feels open and limitless, with few expectations weighing on you. But over time, you begin to notice timelines—careers, relationships, finances, and milestones—and without even realizing it, you start comparing yourself, wondering, “Am I falling behind?” Even if no one says it outright, the feeling is still there.

And maybe that quiet question—“Am I falling behind?”—isn’t really about time at all, but about learning to trust your own pace. Life was never meant to follow a single timeline, and the pressure to keep up often says more about expectations than reality. So instead of measuring where you should be, it might matter more to recognize where you are—and understand that moving forward, in your own way and in your own time, is still progress.
