The Right Person at the Wrong Time - A Reflection on Timing and Connection

All our lives, we have heard stories that involve the right person turning up at the wrong time. This concept is jarringly alarming because it layer-peels the facade of finding the right individual in regard to love, connection, or relationship. This indicates, if explained better, that two people fitting for each other might fail to emerge when the various elements of life are against their coming together.

What does it even mean to meet the right person at the wrong time?

The Complexity in Timing

Timing is an invisible force that shapes the connections we make, often in ways of which we are barely aware. You might meet your dream person, that person who checks all the boxes or sees the world through a filter instituted by your soul. But with you not being emotionally available, probably still recovering from injuries of the past, or perhaps in the middle of some personal crisis, such connection might just not blossom. On the other hand, it could be them who is dealing with troubles at this stage, which means they cannot also be fully present.

This is extra challenging because, by nature of things, there is tension between what we feel and what reality presents. There is almost something tragic in the beauty of having found someone incredible but at the wrong time. You're forced, then, to think that love and connection are about more than logical matches, but two lives crossing at a certain point where access and readiness are aligned.

The 'What If' Paradox

That is the question that will haunt when the right person shows up at the wrong time: What if things were different? It's such a haunting thought, and then you are left to wonder how, in some other world, maybe it would have worked between the two of you. You have a vision of how this might have been the case with another chapter of your life. You could run yourself into sleepless nights with 'what ifs' and yearn for something that may never be resolved.

But harboring such questions in one's mind forever would render living in the present light of day an impossibility. It is very human to reflect on the paths not taken, but living in the country of 'what ifs' blinds you to the new opportunities staring you in the face.

Growth, Timing, and Readiness

It might be that meeting the right person at the wrong time sometimes serves a great purpose. Sometimes such experiences will teach us more about ourselves, or perhaps are a reflection of where we need to grow or what we need to let go of to be truly ready for a meaningful connection in the future. Other times, the person you meet is but a mirror reflecting the work yet to be done on yourself.

That person may remind you that deep love is deserved by you, even if at the time that is not fated to be with them. They may provide a catalyzing agent that impels you to align your life through means that serve to better prepare you in the future for a relationship be it with them or someone else.

Embracing Imperfection

One of the most painful things we may learn is that imperfection meets us around every corner in life, and love is no different. Yes, even when we think we have found that person who fits every category on our ostensibly perfect list, it's not as if the universe necessarily plays a role in ensuring that all that lines up. That's just part of the mystery—and frustration—of being human.

But perhaps, other than cruel fate, that is the profound message: love is not about everything working out perfectly. It means the understanding that connections, no matter the depth, sometimes do not come out with fairy tales. It is about embracing the will-o'-the-wisps, beautiful moments for what they are and not necessarily needing them to last.

Moving Forward with Ease

So, what happens when you are in this situation? There isn't some simple answer to this proposition, nor is a one-size-fits-all solution for anything. Some can hold onto the hope that one day, in the future, the timing shall be right and the stars align. While others let go, realizing that even while a connection was powerful, yet it simply wasn't meant to be a permanent fixture in our lives.

Both are correct. The key is to move with elegance. Life, with all the moments of its unpredictability, is a journey that's really full of twists and turns. That person at the wrong time could have been one chapter in your story, but it need not define the whole narrative. Every experience in life adds to your growth, even the bittersweet ones.

Ultimately, the concept of meeting the right person at the wrong time invites us to consider what love, timing, and self-awareness are all about. It reminds us that not everything is about chemistry but about being prepared—about two people meeting at the crossroads of their journeys in life, ready to take that step together. And sometimes, such journeys are meant to meet only briefly, leaving an indelible mark but no permanent union. In those moments, we can only respectfully acknowledge the bond for what it was and know that each interaction—every human contact—is a part of our development and continues to shape us into who we are and who we will become.

This will ALWAYS be law.

The key is to know when to hold them and when to fold them.

Life is a prison when you're in love alone.

Life Lens - Entry 113

Missteps & Meaning I’ve come to this point where I’ve decided not to harbor any resentment towards myself for pouring my love into the wrong people. It’s intriguing because, in retrospect, it feels like those individuals might have been the ones who needed that love the most during the specific moments we crossed paths. It’s almost like I unintentionally became a conduit for positive energy,…

Being supportive

When you want something good for someone you love,

but it’s found between a fine line of motivation

and manipulation.

Letra

I'm not proud, I was wrong and the truth is hard to take I felt sure we had enough but our love went overboard Lifeboat lies lost at sea I've been trying to reach your shore Waves of doubt keep drowning me

All the dreams that we were building We never fulfilled them Could be better, should be better For lessons in love

For restless eyes, egos burn and the mold is hard to break Now we've waded in too deep and love is overboard Heavy hearts token words all the hopes I ever had Fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better, should be better Lessons in loveIf we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it, yeah Lessons in love Lost without love

Lessons in love When will you ever learn Lessons in love When there's nowhere left to turn

Lessons in love Don't let your spirit burn Lessons in love I'll wait 'till you return

All the dreams that we were building (Yeah, yeah, yeah) We never lived them We could lose it, we should use it (Lessons in love) Lessons in love

All the homes that we were building We never lived in Could be better (Could be better) Should be better (Yeah, yeah) Lessons in love

If we lose the time before us The future will ignore us We should use it, we could use it (Good God) Lessons in love
