Things Happen When They Happen

Some things need time.

Title: Things Happen When They Happen

I’m trying to remind myself that, so long as I’m working on things, they’ll be ready when they’re ready.

I’m an impatient person by nature — I want things done yesterday or earlier, thanks very much — but that’s not the way to get sh** done in the long term.

Sometimes things just happen when they happen.

The tide’s gonna come in when it’s good and ready.

Night’s gonna fall when it falls.

Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, people gotta be simultaneously the best and the worst.

So sometimes you have to just… chill.

Which does not come naturally to me, but I’m trying!

Sometimes, you can only do what you can do. You only have two metaphorical hands, and you gotta work with what you’ve got.

As difficult as that is. As frustrating as it is when the world is just… so effed up. It’s the way it is.

Some things need time.

Time to heal. Time to grow.

Time to rest.

Time to learn.
