Timing is a funny thing.
To be honest- I struggled coming up with a topic for this week. I felt a creative block approach me and it made me unmotivated and uneager to throw out my best ideas. Then I realized, sitting at home at 3 A.M. after a night out, how timing is a funny thing… suddenly my notes app was filled with so many ideas and it all came to me at that specific moment in time. I guess not being able to sleep helped me there!
There are many aspects of life that involve the “perfect” timing or “bad” timing. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Declining offers and waiting for something else to come up when you feel “the time is right.” Not knowing when you are in a place in your life to take that big leap of faith. All of these situations, whether that comes to love, life, experiences, and so on, are all something we as people need to learn and try to understand why it is happening to us.
LIFE
Sometimes things happen for a reason or do not happen because it is not the right time in your life for it. It is something that can be hard to make an understanding of at first but can explain itself in the process.
RELATIONSHIPS.
Ahh, love. When it comes to love, it can be all about the right timing. You may think you met the right person, and then over time, things start to change. You start to wonder what may have gone wrong when you thought you were drowning in something so perfect.
The thing is, you may not have been good together in that chapter of your life but may find each other again in the next chapter or possibly near the end.
This is something I have thought a lot about and have experienced a bit. It may seem like a good idea at the time. A situation where everything aligns and you meet each other at just the right time. The timing was right at that moment, but over time fades into something you do not recognize anymore. And that is okay.
That chapter in your life was one that was right for you at that specific moment in time. And even if it ends in ways that you wish you had control over, the next chapter may hold something great for you. And you could be united and feel a familiarity with that one moment in time over and over again but in new ways.
EXPERIENCES.
Okay, so. If you have picked up on the general theme here, EVERYTHING TAKES TIME and it will all make sense eventually. (Although, do not hold me to that. More on this later).
It is okay to feel like you have no idea what you are doing with your life in this moment of time. Join the club! Take the time to experiment and figure out what you like. Get to know yourself. Try to learn how to be your best self so when the time does come, you are ready to take it on.
“EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.” But, does it?
A somewhat controversial saying. I slipped on ice the other day and ripped my favourite jeans. Did that need to happen/have a reason attached to it? I mean, so far… no.
Sometimes things happen by experience and have an attached reason for it. Sometimes bad things happen and there is genuinely no reason it needed to. It provides a mix.
I can see how people may disagree with this reason. There have been many things that have happened in people’s lives and the world that just do not need to happen.
In my personal experience, I have found most things that have happened in my life all have served as a lesson to me. It may not make sense at the time, but slowly a realization comes.
I had to learn my limits by making mistakes and missing opportunities because at the time they were not right for me. I had to figure it all out when the time came to get to where I am now.
You have the strength and courage in your heart to figure out when you should do something. Do not let the days passing by be a negative distraction. Think of it as one day closer to reaching your destination.
TIME WILL HEAL.
Or does it?
See, this is what I meant when I said: “timing is a funny thing”!
Time has no time if that makes sense.
Healing can take days, months, years. There is no specific time you are expected the heal.
It can be about what you discover and do during that time of healing.
Overall, time can help enhance and maintain certain situations. This is just something that crossed my mind very early in the morning and has been something I think about a lot.
Sometimes things happen by accident and sometimes you experience something at an unexpected time.
Timing has no blueprint (unless you are really good at planning and sticking to it).
