Strong Love, Poor Timing

Life doesn't stop for anybody

Strong Love, Poor Timing

From the very start, we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was never like the timing was good and then eventually turned bad, for us timing was never perfect. But it felt somewhat like a risk, and that's what made it exciting. That's why I loved harder than I ever have. I guess you can say you were my drug. I fell hard and got addicted quickly. It felt so right but so wrong all at the same time.

Unfortunately, we can’t control when people will enter our lives. Some enter at times when they’re well needed and others enter at the worst times.

With you though, it was a mix of both.

You entered my life at a time when I needed you the most but oddly enough, it was also a horrible time for us. And we always knew that.

It almost seemed as if it was never right.

But let me tell you one thing, I give us a whole lot of credit because we fought like hell to make it work. Each and everyday we tried harder and harder because the happiness we felt with each other was so easy to cling onto. When something feels so real, it makes it that much harder to let go of.

The thing with bad timing is that you pretend it doesn’t exist for awhile. You like to ignore the fact that it's there, with that small hope that maybe soon our timing will come. We did that and we tried. But timing was not in our favor, it actually became worse.

I don’t know why you came into my life when you did. Maybe it doesn’t make sense now but it will later, or maybe it will never make sense. All I know is that bad timing or not, it was the best damn feeling in the world.

For now we choose to do the thing that haunts us both the most, let go. Let timing take it's course and see where we end up. Letting go of someone you love due to something you can't control, is a pain I wouldn't want anyone else to feel.

Maybe our time will come one day and all the reasons why it didn’t work now will eventually make sense to us.

I can only hope.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
