It seems like a cruel twist of fate.
You’re going about your business when suddenly they walk into your life.
THE person.
The one you’ve been waiting for forever.
And it’s clear you both feel the same way.
Except . . .
The timing sucks.
You’re involved with someone else (or, yikes – you’re married).
Or you’re about to move to another city.
Or you’ve sworn off relationships after just coming off a bad break-up.
Whatever the reason, loving someone at the wrong time and knowing they are the perfect person for you is a heart-wrenching scenario.
Need a little company in your misery?
We’re here to help with these quotes about meeting the right person at the wrong time.
What Can You Do with These Quotes About the Right Person at the Wrong Time?
Hopefully, these quotes validate your feelings and help you realize you aren’t alone in this heartwrenching situation.
But validation alone isn’t enough to help you cope with your complicated feelings.
We’re not suggesting that reading quotes can make everything better. We do know that you can use these quotes in various ways to help you heal and move forward.
Here are some of our ideas you might try.
1. Use them as journaling prompts.
If one or more of these statements has resonated with you, write it at the top of your journal page. Before you start journaling, reread the quote and then allow the thoughts and feelings to flow.
The goal is for the quote to open the floodgates so you can release and heal.
2. Share one with your “right” person.
If it’s appropriate, send one of these quotes in a card, text, or email to the right person who appeared at the wrong time.
They are likely hurting, too, so show them you recognize how difficult the situation is and that they will always have a place in your heart.
3. Discuss one with your therapist.
If certain quotes or passages seem to encapsulate exactly what you feel, use it as a talk topic with your therapist.
A professional can help you go deeper and tease out why the words struck you so profoundly. You may have an “aha” moment that supports your healing.
Even if you don’t use these ideas right away, hold on to this list of quotes and read them whenever that cruel twist of fate pierces your heart.
