'Right Person, Wrong Time' Is Just An Excuse Because There Is No Right Time To Fall In Love

It's all about the amount of effort you're willing to put into the relationship.

It can get so easy to make an excuse as to why your relationship didn’t work. And honestly, that’s all we're ever trying to do to try and make sense of what happened.

But from someone who has said it was just a “right person, wrong time” situation, I know that it is just another excuse for why the relationship didn’t work.

There is no right time to fall in love.

Love is not something that has a time clock or schedule. Love is not something that if you go out looking for it, that you’re just going to find it.

Love is something that is magical. Love is something that truly can’t be tamed. The best kind of love is the love that finds you, not the other way around.

I know sometimes you just have to come up with something for as why the relationship didn’t work or even won’t work. But “right person, wrong time” isn’t it.

If you truly wanted the relationship to work, you would have done everything possible to keep it alive and thriving.

Now I’m not saying that when old loves find themselves years later and wind up falling more in love than ever before and working out, isn’t a “right person, wrong time” situation.

Because those two have had time to grow and bloom without the other person there. And after it all, they still find each other and still loved one another.

However, I am saying that when you use the excuse to explain why you and your high school love had to break things off because you feel like things just can’t work, then that absolutely is just trying to find an excuse to make you feel better as to why it didn’t work.

If two people can love each other so strongly and believe in their love so much they can defy the odds. It's just all about the amount of effort you're willing to put into the relationship.

If you believe that you have met the person you think you are meant to be with, then be with them!

But if you decide to break things off with someone you love because you feel like you two are just at two different times in life, I'm sure there are more reasons as to why the relationship couldn't work than just "right person, wrong time."

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
