Why Love Knows No Concept Of Time

Love does not adhere to the limitations of time. The idea of the right person at the wrong time is something that you created out of fear.

Why Love Knows No Concept Of Time

If you have ever had the right person come into your life, but told yourself it was just at the wrong time, these words are for you.

There will never be a "right" time because love is an intense feeling that cannot be quantified in terms of time. There will always be an aspect of your life that you wish was more together than it is, but that is just life. If you keep waiting for the opportune moment, you could literally wait forever or end up in a mediocre relationship. I have heard it way too often- from friends, coworkers, and family members that "it just isn't the right time for me to be in a serious relationship." I need to finish school first. I need to land my dream job first. I need to pay off all my student loan debt first (I don't know about you, but I would probably be 40 if I waited for that). I need to move out of my parents' house first (yes, that one is true). The list could go on and on about all the things you think you need to have squared away before you fall in love with someone. But please tell me when we as humans, gained the superhuman ability to control time and love?

Just because you are in a serious relationship with someone doesn't mean you will automatically neglect your responsibilities and life goals. If you are with the right person, you will grow with that person and figure life out together, no matter how young you are. Don't be so scared that you literally pass up your soulmate because of timing and then wonder why for the next 5 years you cannot seem to find the right person. Love doesn't reward those who are blind to it.

Love just happens. It is not something you plan to conveniently place in your life when the time seems to be perfect for you. Soulmates do not follow a strict, timely path where they walk into your life when it is most optimal for you and your situation. If this was the case, then we would all be living very different lives and probably on another planet.

I know this sounds cliche, but if you feel that you have met your soulmate at the "wrong" time, do not give up. True love is not going to be easy. There will be bumps and timing will always be one of them. Not everyone is going to meet their soulmate because not everybody believes in them. However, if you are someone who is lucky enough to find them, you better seize that opportunity. People literally search their whole lives looking for their other half. Something so meaningful and beautiful will not come easy. But it will be worth it.

I have been asked several times about how I knew at such a young age that I had met my soulmate. The answer is always the same for me...I felt it. I could literally feel it in my soul and I still do. It is more than a physical and mental attraction. It is a reaction within your soul that is indescribable. It will be the most nonchalant meeting of two souls, but when they do cross paths, the connection will be too intense to dismiss as a regular occurence.

"When deep down in the core of your being you believe that your soulmate exists, there is no limit to the ways he or she can enter your life."

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.
