Let's Get Out Of This Uptown Life...

Everything in the world as we know it comes down to timing. Did you catch your bus, were you late for school, did you get stopped at a red light, how long do you barbecue the steaks for, when do you have to leave the house? The outcome of these things will forever change the course of your life. It may seem ridiculous, but say you burn your dinner and decide to go out to get something to eat instead, and you end up running into an old friend or making a new one. That one burnt steak has changed everything. We have schedules, sure, but sometimes we just can't get everything right. Sometimes its harder than that to get things to work out at the time they appear to you.

Love is based on timing just as much as anything else. Love is timeless, but the beginning of an "everlasting" love has a small window of opportunity. People fall in and out of love because of exactly this. We lose contact or lose faith because of the time or headspace we are at in our lives. Have you ever heard someone say, "if only I'd met him a year ago..." Or, "if only she'd waited a couple months until I was in a better place..." Timing. And that's what makes good timing so special. There are so many reasons, so many ways for everything to go wrong. So many chances to mess things up, chances to make mistakes. But sometime, someone will find you when you're in a place that will allow a healthy relationship, and their in that same spot too.

This, my dears, is when you know something special has come to be. This is when the timing was right, and I hope the timing of the beat of both your individual drums continue to beat in a complimentary rhythm. Because we all will find this timing, eventually. Patience and a willingness to learn from mistakes and let those relationships that missed their time go will better you for that special case where things were right.
