It's okay

 It's okay to take driving lessons in your 30s or build a house when everyone else has already done it. It's okay if you're just starting to appreciate the mundane things in life or do the things that you think you should've done when you were younger. It's okay if you've made some mistakes as long as you don't repeat them. 

And maybe it's okay to be idle or to be on a reading slump or to wait until the next day to do the dishes.

When everyone else seems like they have their shit together and  you feel like you're the only one missing those breakthroughs, remember that it's okay -- it's okay to close your eyes for a while and silence the voices that invade your thoughts. It's okay if you think you're not making any progress. Because in reality, you are.
