Just in time

Making a perfect chocolate souffle, photographing jump shots, scoring the last shot in a basketball game... it's all about perfect timing. Some things are not achieved in a blink of an eye, but some things are. Some things are not supposed to be rushed, but some things turned out to be well as a product impulsiveness. Then again, it all boils down to the perfect timing. Where am I headed with this? Haha. I was just so moved by the last few lines in the movie I recently watched,

"Sorry, ngayon lang ako nakadating."

"It's okay. You're timing is just perfect." 

It sounded so simple yet it can turn a life upside down. I've always wanted to rush things. I barely take one moment to just appreciate what's out there because I've always wanted to know what lies in the future. My close friends know that I've got my life all planned out. It's my goal to get married at the age of 24 and sent  my children off to college in my early 40's. I even have an Asian baby wallpaper on my desktop during my internship because that's how I want my future child to look like. Also, I hate that I love reading horoscopes. I kinda let it define my entire day and when it turns out to be negative, I would be such a downer for the whole day. Now that I took time to ponder on how I almost press the fast forward button in my life, I've come to a realization that I should just live in the moment. I should take time and appreciate what my present life holds and not worry too much about the future. I'd take Ted Mosby's way of taking things slow. Okay, so maybe he didn't want to take things slow, we all know that he'd been waiting for meeting "the one" for almost 9 years now. But if you come to think of it, if he badly wanted to marry someone from the parade of girls he'd been with, he should be married years back, thus have the most miserable life he could ever have. Then again, it's about the perfect timing. 

I'm 19, and I have all the years that I need to worry about life. I shouldn't be desperately wanting to meet the right guy that would sweep me off my feet. I shouldn't envision what my future child would look like. I shouldn't be reading my horoscopes everyday. I should be more like Elsa and just let it go.

"God has perfect timing. Never early, never late. A little patience, a little faith, but it's worth the wait."
