Puzzles

 We reach to a point where we find ourselves standing in the middle of a crossroad, and that going through choices isn’t a matter of picking what’s best anymore but just to get through the confusion in a breeze. Looking back, we may remember the reasons that we solely promised ourselves to keep all through the journey but as we stop by each checkpoint, we find them changing and sometimes fading into the unknown. By now, we either still have a few of these reasons in our palm, or we’ve lost them to be replaced by another…

 Growing up, I never really pictured life ahead with reality. All I knew then was that there was me, and a bigger world out there ready for merging. However, when i tried to go through the process, I saw complex pieces that just wouldn’t fit. It was like finding fragments from the original puzzle that no longer fit altogether and it was in contrast with what i was taught as a kid. At that time, I thought pieces don’t change and that they make up the same whole, after you break them and assemble them but I was proven wrong. As it turned out, some of the pieces got lost along the way; some piece lost a part of them to take a new form so when one tried to fix them, not everything would fit again. So I was left with no choice but to look for a new frame, collect the pieces that were compatible with my frame and from there, come up with a new “whole”. From that experience, I realised that it’s always hard to understand a puzzle without knowing it’s nature..Lastly, I learned one more valuable lesson: you can’t always force any piece to fit someone’s puzzle but just because it won’t fit to their’s, it doesn’t mean it won’t fit to yours— and if it doesn’t, there are other pieces out there; just look around.
