But even after all that, I found that life could be the most challenging puzzle we have to face. It's one of those things that even if you have all the pieces and could see the whole picture, it still takes time and patience to solve it. At times, we feel more at ease not knowing the whole picture, not knowing the whole level of difficulty or number of pieces that we're missing, but just building up one piece at a time. The problem with this approach is that the only clues that we have for matching two pieces are the shape and a small glimpse of the image. We so often find comfort in building up the corners and the borders but very rarely do we adventure in the middle of the puzzle. We'd rather work little by little holding on to our safe border and only move towards the center when the pieces are still in touch with our borders or roots. On the other hand, you could be one of those people that just jumps in the middle and builds up on every piece you have in order to get small portions of the truth of the bigger picture every now and then. Not having your borders or corners in place might mean that you don't need to know your limits in order to realize that the puzzle will one day come to an end. Nevertheless, every piece is equally important and it gets handed to you at a time where you have at least some matching piece. That doesn't mean you should only focus on one point or piece and limit your possible connections. Spread out and you will find even more connections. The truth of the puzzle information comes in different shapes and colors but in the end it's all connected. Information might be divided, spread out in different areas, different people, different experiences. What's important to remember is that every piece is meant for you. You might throw it on the side now and use it later, but it will forever remain a part of your bigger picture. Work on your puzzle, with patience and care in moving forward and with a hopeful spirit that it will all work out in the end for your highest good!","author":"Virgil Kalyana Mittata Iordache","tags":["bigger","borders","building","center","challenge","challenging","comfort","corners","difficulty","enjoy","glimpse","good","highest","level","life","matching","missing","moving","number","patience","picture","pieces","pleasure","problem","puzzle","puzzles","roots","shape","solve","solving","spirit","touch","young"],"id":51299,"author_id":"Virgil+Kalyana+Mittata+Iordache"},{"text":"I have always wanted to give you the world, so I started giving you pieces of the oceans that kept us apart.","author":"Karen Quan","tags":["apart","emotional","far-away","heartache","love","love","ocean","oceans","pieces","pushed-me-further-away","relationships","sad","without-you","world"],"id":59327,"author_id":"Karen+Quan"},{"text":"Even after you leave someone, or they leave you and you start your life all over again, pretending that you have moved on. There is always a piece of you that you have left behind with them. You can never get that back, even years together after you said you moved on.
