The Concept of "Timing" Is A Bunch Of Bullsh*t, Here's Why
Tumblr

I have never really taken the time to think about whether or not fate is a real thing. Watching movies about soulmates and love at first sight was never enough for me to sit down and actually ask myself, does the perfect person for me exist? I always thought the concept of the right person was kind of bizarre. I mean how do you know that your paths are going to ever cross? Who decides that? God? Fate? The Universe? So many questions with no exact answers.

Taking these questions into consideration, how do we know when we've found the one? But more important than that, how do we know that it's the right time? People say that timing is everything. You can't be with someone if it's not the right "time". What if you're only 16 when you meet the love of your life or you just got out of a six year relationship or you are already married to someone else? So how can the concept of timing possibly be reliable?

In my opinion, the "right time" is a bunch of bullshit. It's an excuse for people to say that they can't be with you now, not because they actually can't, because they don't want to. "The timing doesn't feel right." What the f*ck is that supposed to mean? We can never be sure that the timing is right, that is something that we figure out down the road. How do you know its right or wrong if you never try? You don't.

Here's the simple truth: we never meet the right people at the wrong time. If we do, they're probably the wrong people. Why? You are telling me that if you meet someone and fall in love but it's not the right time in your life to have a relationship that you are just going to let them go? What if they meet someone else? The odds of them waiting around for you to be ready for a relationship are slim to none. If you meet someone who is the right one you won't question if it's the right time. I'm not really sure if there is only one "right" person out there for you. But, if there is and if they are the right person it is always the right time.

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.
