'Right Person, Wrong Time' Is Just An Excuse Because There Is No Right Time To Fall In Love

It's all about the amount of effort you're willing to put into the relationship.

It can get so easy to make an excuse as to why your relationship didn’t work. And honestly, that’s all we're ever trying to do to try and make sense of what happened.

But from someone who has said it was just a “right person, wrong time” situation, I know that it is just another excuse for why the relationship didn’t work.

There is no right time to fall in love.

Love is not something that has a time clock or schedule. Love is not something that if you go out looking for it, that you’re just going to find it.

Love is something that is magical. Love is something that truly can’t be tamed. The best kind of love is the love that finds you, not the other way around.

I know sometimes you just have to come up with something for as why the relationship didn’t work or even won’t work. But “right person, wrong time” isn’t it.

If you truly wanted the relationship to work, you would have done everything possible to keep it alive and thriving.

Now I’m not saying that when old loves find themselves years later and wind up falling more in love than ever before and working out, isn’t a “right person, wrong time” situation.

Because those two have had time to grow and bloom without the other person there. And after it all, they still find each other and still loved one another.

However, I am saying that when you use the excuse to explain why you and your high school love had to break things off because you feel like things just can’t work, then that absolutely is just trying to find an excuse to make you feel better as to why it didn’t work.

If two people can love each other so strongly and believe in their love so much they can defy the odds. It's just all about the amount of effort you're willing to put into the relationship.

If you believe that you have met the person you think you are meant to be with, then be with them!

But if you decide to break things off with someone you love because you feel like you two are just at two different times in life, I'm sure there are more reasons as to why the relationship couldn't work than just "right person, wrong time."

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
