RØRY - SORRY I'M LATE

[@mummamdb]

As someone who is about to finally go to university at 35, after overcoming everything, this song is everything ❤️

[@jamescharlton924]

I went at 21 and my god it was hard. But I think in my heart I knew it was right and you will smash it! Well done! ❤

[@rrdcreates]

Congratulations on your big next step!!

[@pm8652]

I went too early. Having just done my masters as a "mature student" at only 27, I enjoyed the course more because I knew myself better and was more resilient. I hope you get what you want from the experience 😊

[@Porcelyyn89]

I'm 35 and studying as well - training to be a domestic abuse advocate after 2 abusive relationships. We can do anything we set our minds to, we're right on fuckin time 💜

[@alfredwilson4224]

Im 40 and been there three years already sorry am late a didnt want to cum 😂❤

[@michaelalacey7]

It’s so hard when you get older. I had so much potential and promise, a ‘bright’ child…then because of trauma that I hadn’t dealt with, I became totally paralyzed in my 20s and I truly believed that I was too old to peruse my dreams. I’m going back to Uni in September to finally do my PGCE and become an Art Teacher, something I have always dreamed of doing. I’m thankful, now is the right time. I’m healed, resilient and more knowledgeable. It will make me a much better teacher. Everything happens for a reason, and it’s never too late to follow your dreams.

[@missBrittanyLynne]

Same happened with me but, it’s never too late. Fuck the judgmental haters! ❤we got this!

[@ginahernandez1209]

🎉🎉🎉 Bravo 👏 ❤

[@jpslaym0936]

You have been held back by forces beyond your control especially last 10 years. We all are enslaved, but the chains are being removed and our enslavers sent back where they are from or into the ground. Give yourself another shot, the next 10 years will be the most glorious blossoming of the human race in 2000 + years.

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “City” by SLT 🤘🏙️🔥

[@jessicaclayton1844]

I grew up in an abusive home I went into care at 14 but the damage was done I seem to put myself down allot but I have a clean house a loving partner of 12 years 2 beautiful children and I am the best mum I can be I put everything into becoming a mother I gave up on myself in my 20s and lived through my children afraid of the big wide world I've done something so scary lol applied for a provisional and a passport this year I catch flights and drive miles I enter freedom ❤

[@brianchumley9878]

Today I listened to this song 23 times on repeat. Same as yesterday and the day before. I'm 43 years old and I've done so much damage to my body and life that I am fighting for. As hard as I can. I play this on repeat and get up and walk. Just walk. Maybe clean up trash in my neighborhood. I don't want to give up.

[@its_r_o_r_y]

@@brianchumley9878 Brian… on our hardest days, a walk is a huge milestone. It says “I am still here. And I am fighting”. Keep walking. Keep breathing. And I hope life can get a little lighter for you. At 43 you have so many years left… so many people yet to meet. Perhaps one day those walks will be to a coffee with a friend, perhaps to a recovery meeting, or wherever it may lead you. There is so much hope even when we can’t feel it. From one stranger to another… I am so proud of you and I’m honoured to have joined you on your walks.

[@brianchumley9878]

@its_r_o_r_y You brought so many happy tears to my eyes. I wish I could explain to you just what that comment meant to me. I felt like just walking wasn't enough, but your poetry and your determination and "fuck you" attitude let's me know that it IS enough. I feel so much in your words, so much I didn't know how to explain myself, but I feel so validated. And getting up to walk IS an accomplishment because I have developed adhesive arachnoditis from being beaten with a 2x4 for being gay when I was 18. And I hid all of that pain with so many drugs, alcohol, and sex. I'm fighting every single day and you gave me the strength I so very much needed. I can't wait to attend your concert in knoxville, tn in the US. Remember that city and state. Lol

[@catapult4177]

At first I didn’t understand what she was running from but then I saw all the enticement with the flowers, booze, etc, and I just started bawling. Such powerful imagery. Rory I love you sm 😭❤️

[@myramills8197]

Me too. All the things that we carry that want to hold us back and she is still going forward. Beautiful

[@beezybeez4207]

[@MINDLESS89]

Same here,

[@MadilynBailey]

Watching you fully come into yourself at an artist has been one of the coolest things I've ever seen!!! You look absolutely incredible. You're radiating with confidence and creativity and I'm all here for it!! Yeah.... I'd say your right on time!!! Love you!!!!

[@Majid_Osman]

Love ur music!!

[@Flopsi80]

Thank you so much! We may be late, but it's never to late for us.❤ AuDHD here.

[@hakonmilan4039]

Ok, reading the comments section makes me feel like I'm not alone in this. Made my day.

[@juniperdoes]

I've listened to this song 100 times and still can't sing along without crying because these could be my words. I'm 36 and have spent my life so far living for other people, and I'm only starting to figure out who I am and what I want out of life. I feel so seen, Rory, and I hope you know we see you too 🖤

[@ShannaCotton]

I turned 36...this is my theme song for this chapter of my life. 🤟Thank you. I've been in constant shut down since my mom died, a bunch of trauma came to a head, and now I'm finally the one that is taking charge. One little step at a time. Progress over perfection.

[@chelseaduckworth5036]

As someone at 31 after finally getting my life together. Getting over my mental breakdown and many diagnoses, me and my husband are finally trying for a baby. This is resembles my life ❤

[@jackiemarie5202]

It took me almost 20 years to finish my bachelors degree. But it was a bucket list item. Took 5 schools and started so many times. But I finally did it. I have ADHD & had to get diagnosed formally to get accommodations etc. but it means a lot to me to do, because my parents dropped out of college when they got pregnant with me. I wanted to finish what they started. We don't stop living after 30 yo there is no reason not to keep working towards meaningful goals that fulfill us. I think it's just people who have up on their goals trying to get us to give up too We are worthy of working on our goals ❤

[@twylacastaneda7117]

I just turned 41, am trying like hell to get 100% sober, looking at a auADHD diagnosis, and just lost my mother in August.. Did you write this for us both, because you're singing straight to my heart ❤️ Thank you ❤ and you're doing great!!!

[@brianchumley9878]

I play this on repeat. I get my ass up every day and I decide to stay sober, work through my trauma, and be the best version on myself I can be. Your music saves my life every day.

[@josiechambers9333]

I absolutely love the power of this music video. The running and pushing through the temptation and other crap, is something so many can relate to. Thank you Rory, your music is inspirational and flippin good ❤

[@EnvyMyBlood]

Returning to college at 35 to finish my degree. This is exactly what I needed.

[@tashat4034]

Fellow 35yo here still at the starting line but putting those shoes on. High five! You've got this! You own it beautiful ❤

[@IndigoSparkle1]

Sitting here in tears, hearing the song I NEEDED. Filled with gratitude that WE FINALLY HAVE A VOICE!!! A voice within an incredible fellow warrior woman. Crying with gratitude hearing the song my inner child has been suffocating to finally hear. THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR TRAILBLAZER!!! Every battle to get here was worth it. YOU DID IT!! You have hit it perfectly, right on fucking time! LEGEND!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@IndigoSparkle1]

Ps new dopamine hit song to play on repeat 😂

[@emilystephenson1539]

I absolutely love this song! With a partner and son with autism its difficult to read the room at times, this song let's me let go of it all and just be me for 5mins without feeling guilty

[@CeliaHolmes]

I've been following your videos for ages and, as a late diagnosed ADHD woman they've been brilliant for me. Now you're making amazing music! Keep going, please! And this song is just spot on ❤️

[@LadyRafferty]

As someone who spent the first 30 years of life undiagnosed and navigating trauma, coping in the only ways I knew how, then painfully healing from decades of turmoil and its consequences... it’s left me feeling weak at times. Trying to rebuild my life while coping and constantly critiquing myself is so incredibly exhausting. I was on Fb when this song came up, and it stopped me in my tracks! The lyrics stirred deep emotions and a surprising strength at the same time. Thank you, Rory. ♡ Your ability to tap into such profound depths with your lyrics and transform them into a powerhouse of a song that resonates with so many of us is truly a gift. I’m so thankful for you! Your story, healing, and courage are a beacon of light in a community where so many are all too familiar with darkness. Congratulations on your new journey! From one stranger on the internet to another, I’m so proud of you!! We don’t have to be twenty one to have our whole life ahead of us. There's still plenty of time to create the life we always wanted to live! 💪

[@DeevaDeena]

I thought Small Victories was my anthom.... but this song is everything. So glad to find you in my healing journey! Bi polar adhd suspected autism.... just trying to stay alive in my mid 30s! watching you kill it just a few years older than me ❤

[@sharniemann3560]

Same here xx

[@CidMcTab]

God damn, Rox. You are simply incapable of missing. Song after song is an absolute monster. I was really sad when your dance features slowed down, but your new career is so much better than I could have hoped. You were right on fucking time.

[@novellafella]

I needed to hear this song more than anything in the world when it came across my feed today. I love you, Rory ❤

[@willybranto-davyo8786]

Not going to lie, this song brought a tear to my eyes, plus reading all the comments really shows im not alone with the struggles. This song is perfect, honetly, it couldn't be any better. Plus hearing it today for the first time after meeting you yesterday as Sleep Token is surreal, just wish I'd heard it before today.

[@maxoliver38]

I don't know if it's your voice, but you're one of the only singers whose songs I can listen to every time they've been released, your songs are simply AWESOME, I love them all!

[@Chefdespatates]

And the emotions she managed to bring up too 🙌🏽💗💓

[@polrua]

At the age of 50, after working for the same company for 20 years, I was unceremoniously fired by new owners, and since then, I've taken the chance to address issues of physical and mental health I've been wanting to address since my teens. Years later, I've got a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and I'm currently working on an official diagnosis for ADHD and Autism. I couldn't have done it without the help my friends.

[@Gabriella01111]

I wasn’t expecting the short of this that came up on my Facebook scroll to trigger such an emotional response in me this morning. I’ve been numb for so long, thank you 🤍 Every single line hits so close to home and I feel like it’s ignited a fire in me!!

[@aspenfallen]

The blue and black hair color is so iconic, I thought about ADHDLove before even realizing this was Rox! Wow girl, get it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@heatherbeavers9410]

RIGHT? I love ADHDLove and that made me so stinking proud of Rox, almost like she was a friend we've watch grow and bloom.

[@aspenfallen]

Seriously obsessed with this song. Absolutely the ADHD anthem, hands down!!!

[@joshholmquist3544]

I was diagnosed at 34 with ADHD after a lifetime of self destructive behaviors and 2 years later I’m still struggling with the what ifs and what could have beens. I was so fucking sick of apologizing for surviving. My god this song is just so cathartic.

[@springskyllark]

I can’t hear this song without singing along and crying like a baby! My new anthem 🖤

[@laurenp8072]

Heard this song the first time while I was driving and started sobbing around 1:27 when the man driving next to me had to flag me down to ask if I was okay 😅 Please keep making more music, you have a voice that speaks to so many of us that need to hear it ❤

[@beezybeez4207]

31 and just going to college too!! Been fighting my mental illnesses and health my entire 20's. ❤️🖤💕

[@greeneyedbeing]

This song is so accurate to my life, thanks for writing this ❤

[@delphinium5555]

I've been following this wonderful artist for some little while and guessing she could well have a diverse following, I'm a bipolar/complex ptsd grandmother lol. Wishing her continued success and loads of love and happiness.

[@mnlemondrop16]

I am so proud of you. Seeing your journey gives me hope every single day.

[@loobylou6001]

Amazing. Currently struggling to stay alive (ADHD) and keep my husband alive (bipolar) 😢 Thank you for this. So much love to you. Xxxx

[@jamescharlton924]

Take each day as it comes - one day then the next then the next. Please reach out if you need help! You are worth so much!

[@Porcelyyn89]

Sending so much love and strength to you. We're all in the same boat 💜 you can do this.

[@AllieJamBaby]

This is such a bomb. Everybody does it their own way.

[@Bookish_housewife]

I both love and cry at pretty much every one of your songs. Thank you for portraying these emotions 🥰 amazing song!!!! 🖤 Can't wait to see you next year (for the second time)

[@mattwhite8034]

[@darienhurd620]

2:14 absolutely love your outfit🤍 I’ve been playing the song on repeat🖤💙

[@brianchumley9878]

Today I listened to your Playlist and advocated for myself and for my health for the first time in my life. I was always told I was stupid and everything that I said was dismissed, so I lost my voice. But, I did. I'm important and my health is important. Just wanted to share. ❤️

[@natascha_mephisto]

This song made it in my "dont kys"-playlist and I am so thankful for it, because right now is a really hard time for me and I need every help that I can get♥

[@miztanyabea]

Sending you so much love. 💛 We can do this, one song, one beat, one breath at a time.

[@hopenash3428]

Yes Rory!! You should be so proud queen!

[@TheBagpuss1967]

I’m 57 and always been my own worse enemy 😢 self destruct is my biggest weakness! I don’t think I’m ever gonna change , but I now know it wasn’t my fault why I failed so many times as a mother and a partner ( but then I was a magnet to abusive , controlling , cheating men ) now I’m back with the love of my life after 38 years of being apart ! He’s shown me there is nothing wrong with having autism and adhd and bpd and cpstd and ptsd , he understands my struggles with daily life and the trauma I’ve got through 😢he’s also listened to me when I’ve told him about my past and how I’ve fucked up and taking overdoses and overcome addictions. But Rory this song is amazing and I really relate to it . I’m so happy you are now able to live the life you’ve always wanted ❤❤❤ Also forgot to add that I’m the black sheep of the family ( scapegoat) and have dealt with this all my life , can’t even remember as a kid getting a hug or cuddle off my parents and my childhood was so different to my twin and my younger sister , I spent most of my time in my room angry and crying coz I got blamed and punished for everything they did too . Never feeling your parents loved you hurts so deep , you’ve always dissappointed them and nothing was ever good enough whatever you had managed to achieve ! Maybe one day I will write a book about my life story!

[@MissiKaitie]

Rocking out and crying at the same time. Love the song, thank you!

[@LynneMadison0731]

8 beers deep right now Overweight and jobless with a phone that is so cracked that I can hardly see KZbin. But I saw your video Rory . Im struggling so much but I still have some fight left in me. Thank you for this.

[@brianchumley9878]

Don't give up, love. YOU are worth the fight! I have an ear if you need someone.

[@SissioRose]

Please fight ❤ you matter.

In a similar place & totally get it. I hope someday soon you can look back & realize it's so much better now &you're glad you fought for it💜💜💜

This is awesome! What a fantastic, inspiring message. Thank you.

[@sorinehaig4769]

This goes so hard!! But I swear every song makes me sob. Every song is like a release of trauma and a confirmation that I am right on time ❤❤❤

[@TheDutchessOfCornville]

Im 44 and feel like i have nothing in life to be excited about. You gone me hope ❤

[@54chevysoul]

Cried like a baby while listening. 20/5 stars.

[@StewARTist5]

I’ve listened to the song in loop for weeks, but the moment in the video when you stopped to momentarily consider giving up before being propelled forward by your divine purpose. It’s an honor to watch you evolve, and it’s even cooler that your age makes you more relatable to me ❤ 37 is my age, infinite is my spiritual journey.

[@emilycollins8010]

The healing I feel from this song is immense ❤

[@Molokococktail1]

Recently I was having a really bad mental health crisis and this song hits hard in the best way, thank you ❤

[@kieranmoon6559]

I’m 29 and in my second year of uni doing music. Joined a society and almost everyone is 18 to their early twenties. It’s mad, lost my mum at 18, and seeing everyone makes me feel a little late to things. Thanks for this song Rory. I might cover this song if that’s okay

[@stephx8811]

Ive been feeling this so much 😭. Wasted my teens and my 20s partying pretty much every day, then my late 20s and early 30s was wasted through having a condition which meant having several operations and being bed/house bound for most of it. Also had horrific mental health. And now im healing and on the other side, ive achieved nothing and i dont know what to do with my life. I want to be proud of myself and make my family proud of me. Rooting for you ❤ i love your story and your music

[@bertayazzie6133]

I cried when i heard this song , im not only one who wasted their youth on bad decisions and its never to late to chase your dream. I had a drinking problem and addiction to smoking weed through my 20s til I turned my 27 stopped found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child... now I'm 32 I went back to school, trying to live better and get a better job.

[@naclarkh2oqueen286]

Thanks you RØRY. I needed this song

This song is amazing, and the video to it is just as epic. You are an inspiration to so many people, me included! 42 is coming up for me, and this song helps me see that just maybe I am not too old to have dreams and goals.

[@xxdanaynayxx]

Rory: Sorry I’m late, busy staying alive. Me at 29 after signing up for college classes: Sorry I’m late, I WAS busy staying alive. Let’s do these fuckin’ hard things now 🤘🏻

[@DepressedDandelion]

I love this so much ❤ as a 36 year old with a new borderline diagnosis and 10 year hash addiction I’m fighting to get out off right now I just love your music so much ❤

[@Rosie333Sophia]

I love the video, it makes me confident. Everyone can make it and everyone has their own timing, just keep going and you’ll make it.

[@karljiks]

thought i was gonna be able to handle it, bawled my eyes out right after the last look from her

[@BrochBoxer96]

Watching your fb posts made me think I was adhd and aye 27 years old and I’ve been diagnosed with adhd nothings changed but the noises feels more comfortable lol the musics awesome and I’m a country boy but this is brilliant

[@miztanyabea]

So thankful you kept running & invited us all to come alongside. 🫶 #ThisIsOurRestoration

[@lynn181ii1]

You're amazing! Thank-you for being vulnerable and helping us neurodivergants feel hopeful instead of helpless.

[@chrissmyth4946]

As someone in their mid thirties who has completely wasted their life you don't know how much these lyrics resonate. If only I was going to do anything about it!

[@beng2708]

This woman makes truly beautiful music.

[@Woodsy-Kell-f8y]

Amazing video, RØRY!! ☀🌈 Thank you so much for all your music, art, and content; I reckon this song (and now fantastically done music vid) is an absolute !banger! of an anthem for those of us who are neurodivergent, late-diagnosed, and have intergenerational family trauma.

[@novocainvheart]

YES. This song made me cry the first time I heard it cause I can relate so bad. But it always brings me hope. Thank you so much for sharing your strength with us! The world is a better place with you in it! ♥

i dont listen to music anymore because i cant feel anything - but i can feel this one and its the only song ive been listening to now.

[@borm0003]

I feel this in my bones. My dad passed in 2011, and I lived in addiction for years. Getting clean and sober isn't for the faint of heart. But I got there. It's been almost 14 years, and I'm back in school at age 37, working towards a life I never thought I could have. I might be late to the event, but at least I showed up.

[@brotherdime1]
