Thanks for reading and taking the time to provide this feedback, Maribel! I definitely agree that timing is something that can be argued dependent on effort.

I mentioned to Andrew Ahmed in his comment that effort definitely plays a huge role in whether a relationship will work out, but I do think that effort and timing goes hand in hand— again, I’m only speaking based on my own person experience where the timing wasn’t right between me and my (now) fiancé 10+ years ago, but we found our way back to each other later in life.

You kind of just have to see how things play out and if timing finally IS right and you ARE willing to put in the effort, then you can only hope for the best and pray that it works out!
