life is like a puzzle.

it's definitely one of my favorite analogies. 

and maybe because there are so so many applications. 

you start out with a simple piece. and just given a pile of so many others. 

expected to somehow fit them all together. create a masterpiece. 

some times it takes weeks to add just one. and sometimes multiple are added in a day. 

like the size of the puzzle measures the depth of a life. 

.

sometimes you have to search for so long to find that piece that fits.. 

because one edge wasn't exactly right. or it was so close but just didn't quite work. 

and because it didn't fit.. you learned something. and that just added another piece. 

.

the past few weeks. my puzzle i've worked to put together. 

was being shook around.. the pieces unlatching, not fitting the way they used to. so perfectly..

everything that had made sense, just wasn't.. and it nagged at me. it help me back. 

you can't be adding on to an unstable base. 

but i guess when you stick it out, through the quaking, it eventually shakes things back into their place.

. 

and the past couple days. pieces have been adding so quickly. 

things are working out again. so, so good. 

i'm learning. about myself. about others. about life. 

this puzzle is once again beginning to progress. and that in itself, is just good. (:
