Avocadoes are tricky things.

Sometimes, they’re too hard. Yet, leave them out for a little too long and suddenly, they’re rotten.

But every once in a while, you’ll cut into an avocado and it’ll be perfect.

When you encounter the perfect avocado, you certainly aren’t going to waste it. You’ll turn it into the most delightful avo-toast sandwich, eat it straight out with a spoon or do whatever you enjoy the most.

Recently, I’ve been musing about timing. As a baby, reading the Vampire Academy series would have been beyond me. The task would be premature; too hard. But if now I were to go back and read it, I’d probably cringe after every chapter. The task would be overdue; too rotten.

The perfect time to read Vampire Academy was in my teens. And when I did, it was great.

What opportunities are ripe for picking right now? Things that seemed far-fetched a few years ago, and might seem childish in a few years: where are they?

Because we only really have the present moment. If we continue doing what we’ve always done in the past, we might find a rotten avocado. Yet, if we look too far forward, we might begin an endeavour we’re not ready for. The perfect adventure for us exists right now but is on an expiry date.

Are we not ever-changing, both gradually and per situation?

The perfect avocado is waiting.
