There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Everything happens for a reason.

There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Timing. Have you ever heard someone say "It's not the right time." I hate to say it, but they are right. Everything that happens in your life, happens at a specific moment. Not two seconds before or five minutes later, but at that EXACT moment. For example, you're driving and a car runs a red light and hits the car in front of you.

If you left your home, let's say, two seconds earlier, that could have been you. Scary.

Timing. It affects your whole life. There was a reason you weren't with that cute boy in the 12th grade, but you are now. Maybe you two weren't ready enough to be brought together yet. Maybe you both had some more maturing to do.

Who knows, if you two happened in the past, then maybe you two wouldn't even be talking to each other now. Funny how both of you could have gone through many relationships before the two of you came together.

Generally speaking, it might feel like you never be with that person, but "surprises are the best." Also, if that door doesn't ever open, there IS a reason for that.

Someone is saving you from a failed relationship and a heartbreak.

Timing. It sucks. It holds so much power, yet seems like it's no big deal. I wish that was true because if that was the case, everything in my life would be different.

That's the thing though. I wouldn't want to change a single thing in my life because if one thing is different than it wouldn't be the life I know. Timing is the one thing in life you can't control.

You think you have everything down, but one thing: "Timing, but timing's a b****."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
