Have you ever met someone, but the timing was just off? You meet this wonderful person and immediately think to yourself, “If only I were ready for this right now”.

“If only I weren’t still getting over my last breakup”

“If only I weren’t in the middle of changing careers”

“If only I were in the right headspace”

There are so many ifs in life and because of that, timing seems to be everything. And when it comes to people, we never know whose path we’ll cross or where a relationship might lead to. We can only take each day as it comes.
