In my humble opinion, I strongly believe that being late is not a terrible thing. If you show up somewhere unwashed and in shambles, you might as well have stayed home. If you need an extra thirty minutes to unfrazzle yourself before arriving somewhere, take it. The stigma around being late should be erased. We all have lives and stuff going on, so we should all accept ourselves. There is also the swagger and attention that being late brings. It is a win-win situation. No one loves being unprepared, so let’s all be late together!
