The Role of Timing

There is a particular kind of sadness that comes with meeting someone at the wrong time. You meet them and everything aligns. The conversation flows. The connection is undeniable. You feel like you have known them for years even though you just met. And yet, something is off. One of you is not ready. The circumstances are not right. The timing is not aligned.

Do you walk away? There is no single answer that fits every situation. But there are some truths that can guide you. The first truth is that you cannot force readiness.

The second truth is that your life does not stop while you wait for someone else to catch up. You have your own path to walk, your own growth to pursue. Putting your life on hold for a possibility is not a recipe for happiness. There is also a deeper question to consider.
