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.

LOVE IS IN THE HAIR

It has been two months since Memuna and I broke up, and I can’t bring myself to fathom the reason why we are going our separate ways. What about all those promises? What about the moments we shared together? The weekend beach strolls, the Friday night live band treat at 7 Heavens, and the get-to-know-each-other’s-family thing our friends proposed. What happened to us? How am I telling my friends…

Single to Committed: Without Losing Myself

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a relationship. And somewhere in that stretch of solitude, I found something precious—peace. I fell deeply in love with my own space, my own rhythm, and the unmatched comfort that comes with not having to explain myself to anyone. There’s something incredibly liberating about living life on your own terms. No check-ins. No emotional labor for the sake of someone else's insecurity. Just me, my thoughts, my time.

And I’ve grown to cherish that.

Being single isn't a sad chapter. It’s actually been one of the most empowering phases of my life. I’ve learned what it means to be whole on my own. I’ve learned to romanticize solo coffee dates, long walks with music, late-night overthinking sessions, and dancing in my room like no one's watching (because really, no one is).

But despite how content I feel on my own, I also understand the beauty of companionship. I'm not against love. I just refuse to water myself down for it.

The transition from singlehood to a committed relationship isn't as simple as swiping right or texting every day. It’s a conscious shift. A mental and emotional pivot. When you're used to being alone and thriving in it, welcoming someone into your life takes real courage. Because now, your space isn’t just yours. Your time isn’t just yours. Your silence will often be filled with conversation, your plans will some times involve compromise, and your decisions might require collaboration.

And that’s fine—if it’s with the right person.

But here's where I draw the line: I won’t be in a relationship where constant updates are expected as proof of loyalty. I won’t entertain someone who confuses control for care. If your idea of love is policing my movements, questioning my choices, or needing validation through constant check-ins, I’m not the one for you.

Yes, I know the difference between being controlling and being concerned. I know what genuine curiosity looks like. And trust me, if I’m with someone I truly care about, I’ll overshare without being asked. I’ll tell you what I had for lunch, who I ran into, what weird dream I had last night. But that only happens when I feel safe—emotionally, mentally, energetically.

What pushes me away isn’t the commitment itself. It’s the imbalance. The gendered expectations. The assumption that because you’re the “man,” I owe you answers or obedience. That’s not partnership. That’s hierarchy—and I want no part of it.

I’ve had moments where I almost got into something just because it was “the right time” or because “I’ve been single too long.” But then I remembered: I’d rather be single with peace than be in a relationship full of doubts and discomfort.

At this point in my life, I’m not interested in a boyfriend for the sake of a relationship status. I don’t need validation through someone else’s presence. I’m not here for temporary sparks. If anything, I’m open to slowly exploring something real—something grounded. Let’s take time. Let’s see if we’re compatible on values, not just vibes. If it works, beautiful. If it doesn’t, let’s respectfully part ways with no bitterness.

What I want is simple: someone I can be fully myself with. Someone who doesn’t get insecure when I say I need space. Someone who isn’t threatened by my independence but is inspired by it. Someone who knows love isn’t about ownership—it’s about honoring each other’s existence, together and apart.

Because being single taught me to protect my peace, and I won’t trade that peace for anything less than a love that feels like freedom.

False Identity Where can I find myself When the mirror refuses My own reflection But instead reveals The lips you kissed The cheeks you caressed The hands you held The eyes you gazed into When do I get myself back?

Selfing.

It's our 5 year reunion this weekend at UD, and I'm filled with this nervous anticipation.

5 years ago I thought I'd be meeting up with my classmates for this at a very different place in my life. I thought I'd be in a serious relationship with a great guy. Or better yet... engaged. Or even better... married. Or still better... have a baby or more in my belly or arms. I thought I'd be designing at some great company and creating really awesome work. I thought I'd have a more clearly defined life path.

Reality of romance: is that I'm not dating for 18 months (1 month down!). And experiencing some fantastic support from some of my friends, and unrest from others over this. And I'm anxious to fall into those conversations with my classmates and explain why, only to hear they don't approve of the guidance I've received or the choice that I am ultimately making. After all, I have freewill and am completely capable of making life decisions. (Like how many blueberries to put in my cereal if any at all. Or what donuts I'm going to shove in my face. Or yoga classes I will or will not do chataranga in. Or trips I want to go on. Or not to date.) Life is full of choices and opportunities, and I'm making and/or simply embracing them. This is one. And really... is it hurting anyone? Or is it too much to want the support and respect of the people I love and encounter to find healing in the way I ultimately best see fit at this stage in life? Even if they don't understand? Because my other reality, is that it's really painful to hear that this is a stupid move. I do a lot of stupid things, but nurturing myself to be better so I can love better and healthily isn't so dumb. Eh?

Reality of job: I was burned pretty badly at my first design job, had my design confidence pretty well squashed, and have since moved on to project management for a great company with some really super awesome creatives: designers and developers and PMs and so on. I may not mentally and physically be producing creative the way I originally thought I would, but I get to encourage the talent and help weave the visions and logistics of our clients into realities with my team. And creating really awesome work. And this... is such a sweet thing. By embracing opportunity I came back to Dayton. I rekindled relationships and forged new ones. I learned how to be an organized and compassionate and (hopefully) a respected manager, built from the ground up by my mentor. I found my faith, a relationship with God, and have been tearing down barriers and boundaries in my life that are allowing me fresh perspective and fresh love. And I'm ready for whatever opportunity is next to grow in whatever way is necessary next.

While my life isn't what I imagined 5 years ago for today, I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I have freedom to pick up for a night for a slumber party, or a weekend to visit friends, or a week to go to India, or a few years for a job, or several for school... which leads me to a 5 year reunion this weekend. And that is awesome.

The way I have seen myself throughout life, even just today, isn't as just as how I know I should see myself. Point in case, the Dove Real Beauty Sketches (http://realbeautysketches.dove.us). My self image isn't so hot, but I know that by setting time aside to soul search and root out my strongholds, rebuilding my foundation by healing and growing from experiences, freely taking on what's thrown my way or what I seek out... I know in the coming months and years and life that I will be a better and more beautiful person for my family, friends, coworkers, and hopefully one day, a man who I am worthy of as much as he is me. Then there will be a marriage and babies and the designing of a life that is blessed and fruitful because of what I'm going through now. And that is even more awesome.

K, I'm ready for this reunion...
