But you don’t have to have it all figured out right now! Everybody moves at their own pace, and there’s no point rushing to the finish line when all that’s waiting for you at the end is a good night’s sleep. The real prize is the journey you’re on, and that takes time.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (again, sorry)
