Meeting the right person at the wrong time is still the wrong time. You’re allowed to let it be.

Whether something can work depends partly on when it arrives, and that part is not open to negotiation. Someone can be good for you and still show up in a season where neither of you has the room, and no amount of wanting it rearranges the calendar. It feels like a problem to solve when it is really a thing to accept. You are allowed to be sad without treating the sadness as proof you handled it wrong.

If it is sitting on you this week, say it plainly to one person you trust. Then put your attention back on what this season does have room for.
