Strong Love, Poor Timing

Life doesn't stop for anybody

Strong Love, Poor Timing

From the very start, we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was never like the timing was good and then eventually turned bad, for us timing was never perfect. But it felt somewhat like a risk, and that's what made it exciting. That's why I loved harder than I ever have. I guess you can say you were my drug. I fell hard and got addicted quickly. It felt so right but so wrong all at the same time.

Unfortunately, we can’t control when people will enter our lives. Some enter at times when they’re well needed and others enter at the worst times.

With you though, it was a mix of both.

You entered my life at a time when I needed you the most but oddly enough, it was also a horrible time for us. And we always knew that.

It almost seemed as if it was never right.

But let me tell you one thing, I give us a whole lot of credit because we fought like hell to make it work. Each and everyday we tried harder and harder because the happiness we felt with each other was so easy to cling onto. When something feels so real, it makes it that much harder to let go of.

The thing with bad timing is that you pretend it doesn’t exist for awhile. You like to ignore the fact that it's there, with that small hope that maybe soon our timing will come. We did that and we tried. But timing was not in our favor, it actually became worse.

I don’t know why you came into my life when you did. Maybe it doesn’t make sense now but it will later, or maybe it will never make sense. All I know is that bad timing or not, it was the best damn feeling in the world.

For now we choose to do the thing that haunts us both the most, let go. Let timing take it's course and see where we end up. Letting go of someone you love due to something you can't control, is a pain I wouldn't want anyone else to feel.

Maybe our time will come one day and all the reasons why it didn’t work now will eventually make sense to us.

I can only hope.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
