Who you’re with at this very moment is the person you’re meant to be with. Maybe not for the rest of your lives or maybe you both weren’t supposed to make it past tomorrow, but right now, it’s with purpose. They could be absolutely wrong for you, in all ways but one; that single crumb of reason is what allows me to be patient because I’ve meddled with the dynamics of life and it has only spun quick 180s to bite me. You can’t rush what isn’t yet finished. I know that now. I spent years in puzzlement as I observed the relationships around me and how humans have this tendency of weighing the bad with the good, yet accepting it as it is in order to maintain that ounce of good left. Love was the answer to everything, it seemed.

Some people stay because they want to submit their entirety into what they feel as though they must exhaust before moving on. They want to know that they have done everything within their power. I commend you. I haven’t yet found that willpower but I admire it when I see it. We’ve all seen this - couples who complain and continue their reckless ways, devaluing the beginning and ends by constantly breaking up to make up. The couple who cried wolf as I’d like to call them. Those people keep trying and sometimes, they don’t know why anymore. But they do it anyway until they can’t.

You know what you end up with? Another lesson. Every experience allows you to sort between the things you want and don’t want in your future, habits that are destructive, personalities that do not fit with yours; the little things that can wear out a relationship as people start to feel the need to change to suit the person they want to be with. So if this is you, do what you must. Fight until you can’t and love until you realize it’s just not enough anymore. Know your worth and stand up for it.

Therefore, no matter where I am or who I’m with or who I’m interested in. Regardless of the circumstances that stand between us or how the dice just doesn’t roll in my favor, I will always remember that there is a time for everything. They are simply not yet prepared for me as I might not be for them, but when the stars align and life has played out as it should; it’s never too late. 

And when it happens, you’ll just know that it was worth the wait.
