Timeless Colors

The Truth About Meeting Someone At The Wrong Time  

 

Timing is something that none of us can seem to get quite right with relationships. We meet the person of our dreams the month before they leave to go study abroad. We form an incredibly close friendship with an attractive person who is already taken. One relationship ends because our partner isn’t ready to get serious and another ends because they’re getting serious too soon.

“It would be perfect,” We moan to our friends, “If only this were five years from now/eight years sooner/some indistinct time in the future where all our problems would take care of themselves.” Timing seems to be the invariable third party in all of our relationships. And yet we never stop to consider why we let timing play such a drastic role in our lives.

Timing is a bitch, yes. But it’s only a bitch if we let it be. Here’s a simple truth that I think we all need to face up to: the people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people.

You never meet the right people at the wrong time because the right people are timeless. The right people make you want to throw away the plans you originally had for one and follow them into the hazy, unknown future without a glance backwards. The right people don’t make you hmm and haw about whether or not you want to be with them; you just know. You know that any adventure you had originally planned out for your future isn’t going to be half as incredible as the adventures you could have by their side. That no matter what you thought you wanted before, this is better. Everything is better since they came along.

When you are with the right person, time falls away. You don’t worry about fitting them into your complicated schedule, because they become a part of that schedule. They become the backbone of it. Your happiness becomes your priority and so long as they are contributing to it, you can work around the rest.

The right people don’t stand in the way of the things you once wanted and make you choose them over them. The right people encourage you: To try harder, dream bigger, do better. They bring out the most incredible parts of yourself and make you want to fight harder than ever before. The right people don’t impose limits on your time or your dreams or your abilities. They want to tackle those mountains with you, and they don’t care how much time it takes. With the right person, you have all of the time in the world.

The truth is, when we pass someone up because the timing is wrong, what we are really saying is that we don’t care to spend our time on that person. There will never be a magical time when everything falls into place and fixes all our broken relationships. But there may someday be a person who makes the issue of timing irrelevant.

Because when someone is right for us, we make the time to let them into our lives. And that kind of timing is always right.

The secret recipe to Bully Friends Squad

 

 1. TEAMWORK 

We have done a lot of this since we met each other. There will always be untold stories that will remain to those who are involved. HAHAHA. It's not what you think. But there are times but those are rare. Lol. I will be forever proud of those clever ideas that I was part of. What you see, what you hear, when you leave, leave it there. :) 

2. Management 

This is not only a subject from our course but also a doing in our friendship. I first salute our leader, Almira. She's always there to know, understand and think of the solution. She'll never let a time pass by without fixing things in order. Not also the leader but everyone of us. We are all in charge of everyone's responsibilities and stuff.

3. Acceptance & Patience 

We have different personalities that's why I think we are fun. They say you have to share the same interest for people to get along but we aren't that much. I've learned to accept my own flaws because of them. I also realized how patient they are to me. HAHAHA. Maybe all of you think how much I could be the most pasaway friend in our group. Well, I think so 😭 Ako lagi mareklamo. Especially on sleep overs, most of the time I get the best position in bed and leave some of them sleeping on the floor. I never even thought of the house owner. Hahaha! Basta lahat kami ay totoo, kung mahal naman namin ang isa't isa eh. Wala namang mawawala kung magpapakatotoo.

4. Prepare for a lot of contributions > Money 
 Since we are accountancy students, it's automatic that we have to divide everything immediately. Lol

5. Talk that talk 

This friendship is like a boyfriend / girlfriend relationship where communication is a must. We have our regular forum para healthy. I will always treasure the lahat-kami-iiyak-bago-magsimula-to-study.

6. You need to be foodie 
We love eating together and yes forever.

7. Lastly, you gotta show and express your unconditional love to everyone. Whoever, Whatever, Wherever makes them happy, makes us happy too. I love you guys! I love you always! I love you :) Again, thank you Bes Mattiaz for this one of a hell get away! Where do we go next? :)

With Love,

Patricia <3
