百花落已尽 / 一菊后秋开 / 君虽来稍晚 / 自有香不同

What it mirrors · Moving slowly doesn't mean falling behind; it means you're on a different rhythm. Try putting down the yardstick you've been using to measure yourself against people your age (when they married, what they own, how far they've climbed). A chrysanthemum doesn't compete with peach blossoms for timing, and its fragrance is its own.

A mirror, not a prophecy. It reflects you as you are right now. How you walk is still yours to choose.
