Timing is something that none of us can seem to get quite right with relationships. We meet the person of our dreams the month before they leave to go study abroad. We form an incredibly close friendship with an attractive person who is already taken. One relationship ends because our partner isn't ready to get serious and another ends because they're getting serious too soon.

"It would be perfect" We moan to our friends, "If only this were five years from now/eight years sooner/some indistinct time in the future where all our problems would take care of themselves.

Timing seems to be the invariable third party in all of our relationships. And yet we never stop to consider why we let timing play such a drastic role in our lives.

Timing is a bitch, yes. But its only a bitch if we let it be. Here's a simple truth that I think we all need to face up to: the people we met at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people.

You never meet the right people at the wrong time because... the right people are timeless.

The right people make you want to throw away the plans you originally had for one and follow.
