Stop believing you’re racing against a clock your narcissistic mother set. She weaponised time to keep you small, labelling your dreams “childish,” your ambitions “selfish,” your growth a threat to her control. But here’s the truth they gaslit you into forgetting- You are not a statue she carved. You are a wildfire, and your evolution has no expiration date.

Narcissistic mothers fear your potential because it defies their narrative of lack. They chain you to their timelines- “You’re too old to change,” “You’ll never be more than this” -to keep you dependent, compliant, and doubting your capacity to outgrow their limits. But her voice in your head isn’t prophecy-it’s propaganda.

Healing is rewriting your DNA. It’s waking up at 30, 40, 50, and deciding to learn the piano she mocked. It’s returning to school after she sabotaged your education. It’s embracing passions she called “silly” and building a life she swore was impossible. Every time you choose curiosity over her criticism, you’re not “starting over” -you’re reclaiming sovereignty.

Yes, society will parrot her script- “Aren’t you too old for this?” Let them. Your potential isn’t a limited resource-it’s a muscle that strengthens with use. The wrinkles, scars, and grey hairs aren’t proof of time “running out”-they’re medals from battles survived, proof you’ve earned the right to define yourself.

Your rebirth isn’t late-it’s right on time. Forge new paths. Fail gloriously. Reinvent relentlessly. Let her ghost scream “Who do you think you are?” as you whisper back:- “Someone she never imagined.”
