Is Social Mistiming Real?

    There is a saying that goes “every person you meet in your life, is either a lesson or a blessing”. This idea plays on the philosophy that mistiming occurs, which a lot of us can agree upon. Sometimes we’re too young when we met the perfect person, and that immaturity caused rifts to grow, when in reality the relationship could’ve really went somewhere had the two met later in life than earlier. Yet can that really be said? Sometimes we meet the right people at the wrong time, but if we had not met them, would we still be the same person now? In my opinion, the answer’s no. Without that person we lost in life, we would not understand how to preserve those that are important to us now. To call it mistiming in my opinion, is misconstrued and comes from a place of regret. Instead, it’s important to understand our mistakes so that these mistakes are prevented in the future.
