There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Everything happens for a reason.

There's A Time For Everything, Even When You Think You Have Everything Down

Timing. Have you ever heard someone say "It's not the right time." I hate to say it, but they are right. Everything that happens in your life, happens at a specific moment. Not two seconds before or five minutes later, but at that EXACT moment. For example, you're driving and a car runs a red light and hits the car in front of you.

If you left your home, let's say, two seconds earlier, that could have been you. Scary.

Timing. It affects your whole life. There was a reason you weren't with that cute boy in the 12th grade, but you are now. Maybe you two weren't ready enough to be brought together yet. Maybe you both had some more maturing to do.

Who knows, if you two happened in the past, then maybe you two wouldn't even be talking to each other now. Funny how both of you could have gone through many relationships before the two of you came together.

Generally speaking, it might feel like you never be with that person, but "surprises are the best." Also, if that door doesn't ever open, there IS a reason for that.

Someone is saving you from a failed relationship and a heartbreak.

Timing. It sucks. It holds so much power, yet seems like it's no big deal. I wish that was true because if that was the case, everything in my life would be different.

That's the thing though. I wouldn't want to change a single thing in my life because if one thing is different than it wouldn't be the life I know. Timing is the one thing in life you can't control.

You think you have everything down, but one thing: "Timing, but timing's a b****."

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
