I think timing really is everything because if I met you three years later or three years earlier, we’d be in a completely different spot- so thank God I didn’t, because I like where we are right now. And if I met my last boyfriend when I was in college I wouldn’t have been ready. And if I met the guy I loved when I was 18 for the first time today, I don’t think I would have felt the same way, but he was exactly what I needed back then. I think the reality is sometimes the “when” is more important than the “who,” and this goes for all kinds of relationships. And at certain points in your life, someone can be exactly what you need, but at other points, that same someone can be just another person.
