Timing Is Everything

Timing controls who comes into our life, but also shows us what we need in life

Timing....

"The choice, judgment, or control of when something should be done"
-Dictionary.com

Everyday we see things happening and events unfolding in front of us. We meet new people and go on new adventures, but still timing changes everything. The biggest thing about it though, is we have no control over it, it almost controls us more than we can control it.

Sometimes timing just makes life difficult because it leaves us clueless, curious, or in the unknown and to a lot of people, the unknown is terrifying. Which makes sense, none of us like the idea of not knowing what to do or not knowing what's going on, though I will admit some people are better at
handling than others. Some people are just better at going with the flow, while some of us like to have everything planned out. It can make life complicated or confusing. We just have to keep in mind that most of the time we cannot change timing.

Sometimes we meet the right people at the wrong time, and sometimes we meet the wrong people at the right time. We can not change when we meet people in general, that's just something we can't control and we just have to go with it. We may meet people when were not open to anyone and we may miss out on having some amazing people in our lives, but in the same sense sometimes we cross paths with the wrong people when were just looking for someone to hold and it can end in a multitude of bad results. Timing is everything.

We also have no control over most life events. We can't choose when a child is born, when death or life comes, sickness, and we only have semi control of timing when it comes to work or school. We may be able to choose what we job we have but we can not choose when we progress in that job. We may choose to go to college, but we don't get to control college events or the fact that homework and things take up most of our time. There are so many things that are out of our control and sometimes we let them get the best of us. We just need to learn that this is all part of life and what we have to do. It is hard, but we have to learn that timing is key in a lot of situations and it sometimes causes us to loose people we never want to let go, it may put us in situations that were not used too, and it may also help us realize things we needed to know.

It is so easy to get caught up in change and in life and how something are just out of our control and we just have to be careful and keep in mind that it is just a part of life and that yeah, it would be great to be able to control it, but somethings are just out of our control. At times, we get all caught up in all the change and make choices we regret because we don't know what to do or how to handle all that life is throwing at us. Sometimes life just shows us what we need. People come out of our life and leave and it just means that they are not meant to go into the future with us and we might not understand that now, but its all for a reason.
Timing may be everything, but it also matters how we handle things. We all just need to keep in mind that life does not stop for anyone and its all about what we need and how we handle things.
Keep your head up no matter what it will always get better with time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
