When Timing is Everything
Dear Brewtiful,
I met someone at work, and from the very beginning, we connected on such a deep level. It felt like we were meant to be together. However, he was getting married in a few months, so nothing ever happened between us. Now, I see him married and starting a family, and I can’t shake the feeling that he was my person, but our timing just didn't align. How do I move on from someone I believe was meant for me?

Dear Missed Connection,
Oh, darling, your story is one that tugs at the heartstrings of many. The pain of lost potential and the ache of seeing someone you deeply care for move on with their life is incredibly tough. It’s like watching a beautiful movie unfold where you once imagined yourself as the leading lady, only to find yourself as a mere spectator.
First and foremost, it’s important to acknowledge and validate your feelings. Grief isn't reserved only for those we've lost in life or love but also for the futures we once imagined for ourselves. Allow yourself to mourn the what-ifs and the almosts. It’s perfectly natural.
However, it’s equally vital to remember that the story of your life is still being written. Your person, the one who is meant to share your journey, is still out there. Timing is indeed everything, and sometimes, the universe has a way of aligning the stars when you least expect it.
Seeing him happy with someone else can be incredibly painful, but it also shows you that love and happiness are possible. Take this as a sign that such joy is attainable for you too. The love you seek, the connection you crave, and the happiness you deserve are all out there waiting for you.
Begin by focusing on yourself. Dive into your passions, invest time in your friendships, and explore new interests. This will not only help in healing your heart but also prepare you for the right person when they do come along. Remember, the best love stories often come when we least expect them.
Lastly, don’t close your heart off to new possibilities. It's okay to cherish the memories of what might have been, but don't let them overshadow the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead. Your person is out there, and they will find you when the time is right.
In the meantime, embrace the journey. Your story is just as beautiful and meaningful as anyone else’s, and it's leading you to a love that will be worth every moment of waiting.
Stay strong, beautiful.
