There's nothing wrong with being a late bloomer

I am a late developer - that should sound like something that should remain unspoken, but I speak it anyway because it is part of what defines me. Besides, there are massive advantages to being a late developer, for instance, you can get away with not being 'serious with life'. You see, pressure to 'do better' comes from people who know you, but if those people expect little from you, it means freedom for you.

When you are a late developer, it means you are not on a timer, never in a rush unless it is a matter of life and death (including deadlines), and you are unbothered by what other people achieve, or how fast they achieve it. This, in short, was the reason I could not survive in the corporate world which is synonymous with pressure.
