When It's The Right Person, But The Wrong Time

Some loves we think we are meant for; the universe doesn't always think so.

When It's The Right Person, But The Wrong Time
Power of Positivity

I think we've all had that person who comes into our lives, and instantly we think, "Holy sh*t, this is the one." You have a deep gut feeling that you're supposed to be together, and it refuses to be pushed away or denied. It takes the forefront of your mind. Whenever you see them, more things just keep clicking into place. You are so, so sure that you are meant for one another.

The universe, however, is not so sure.

It's all too often that people's lives intersect at the wrong time. I've watched it happen to many of my friends, and I've had it happen to me. Two people who would be--should be--together, can't be. Too many circumstances come into play against them. Sometimes it's simple; you can accept that it's just not the right time, and move on, even though it sucks. Sometimes, though, it's flat out heartbreaking.

They're with, or want, someone else. They don't want a relationship. They're moving away. Whatever the reasons may be, it's never easy to give up something that has the potential to be great. It has never, and will never, be easy to walk away from something that could be a once in a lifetime love. But at the end of the day, sometimes you have to, for the sake of your own heart.

There are times when it's necessary to fight for what and who you want, because who would we be if we gave up on our passions so easily?

But then, we all know that it's not always the case. Sometimes it will always be a losing battle.

Just know that conceding defeat is not the end for you. It's going to hurt, the disappointment will stab through you like the sharpest knife, but just because it didn't work out with this person doesn't mean it won't work out with anyone else. We all learn something when people come into our lives, and then we learn something when they leave it. Remember those lessons, and then remember not to give up on love. Remember not to give up on keeping your heart open.

You may have had to walk away from what you thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime love. The catch, though, is that every love is a once in a lifetime love. Every love is different because no two hearts are the same.

Find the strength to walk away. And then find the strength to love again.


"Maybe it won't work out. But seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever."

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
