"Remember how we were best friends? Yea, I miss that".... A post I read from my daughter's page this morning. Even at her age she is experiencing how time changes who you hang out with. How we all grow apart and circumstances beyond our control prevents us from "hanging" out as much. And it wont stop at that age, in fact, it continues well into our adult life if not more. As we get older, our tastes changes too. Developing our own identity at a young age may not include those whom molded us from the get go. The ones that praised you, ones that bullied you, ones that cried and laughed with you and most of all, the ones that touched our hearts the most. Those are the ones that accepted you for who you were, complimented you to make you feel good about yourself, all the right things a best friend would do, until they changed (or vice versa) and then you weren't good enough to hang out with or boredom set in and no longer had anything in common. It's a tough thing to learn. The pain doesn't leave so readily when you are abandoned and the wondering of whether or not you had done something wrong is even worse. When all it was, is, it was time to explore and gather new friends. You got all that you could get from that relationship and then we move on. You will never forget those school aged friends. I never did. I still think about them now and again. And tho' I wished I could have done things differently with my old friends, I made sure with my new friends, I wouldn't make the same mistakes again. So in hindsight, it's all a learning tool and a part of life. My daughter? She will survive, she's strong and her heart is big enough to fit many friends.

It is written in time...
Never erase, delete or throw away what you have written. It was good enough to be written, it will be good enough to use, because you felt it in your heart. Maybe not now, but maybe when the time is right. If you are a writer, things come and go into our heads so quickly, so randomly and so freely that the same moment may never exist again in the same way you first wrote it. Cherish your thoughts, their your own, it's even more valuable after you share it with others. Writing, it just gave new meaning to "living with no regrets."
Everything happens for a reason, we have all heard that before. Aside from that, "timing is everything". The reasons things happen when it does is because it was the right time for it to happen. But what about those things when we know it's inevitable that it will happen but are not prepared for it? It will never be the right time emotionally, physically or spiritually. Like that first kiss or that final exam, moving out our parents house, getting married, the birth of a child, experiencing the loss of a loved one, divorce, financial difficulties. The list is endless. But one thing is constant, the timing is always and will be the right time. Why? Follow this blog and discover why, timing is everything.
"According to My Time" is based on the fact that yours, mine and everyone else's time on earth has it's limits, limitations and it's worth.
