Puzzles

“The pieces of a puzzle have a tendency to come together when you least expect it.” ~Jane Green

Humans are no different than puzzles. Not just in the complete-muddle-heads kind of way but more like pieces that fit together to give a big picture.

All of us are individual entities with our blemishes left unhidden when life serves us people whom we need instead of the people we would like. These people just fall into our mortal coils from nowhere and impart in us a part of themselves, which later becomes a part of us, that makes us a little more complete and a little more “us”. So we get elements of ourselves from others… crazy, isn’t it?

In a way, we are all Horcruxes to one another, keeping alive in us fragments of others even long after they aren’t a part of our lives anymore. For all we know, we might just unknowingly, unconsciously become a detrimental part of someone’s life.

We have our crests and crevices of the things that we chose to project out and those we chose to keep inside us. So we find people whose crests complete our crevices and we just “click” with them.

Maybe we’re just tiny elements of some huge plan that we’re completely unaware and oblivious of and that the plan would have a gaping hole in it without us. Scattered at first, the pieces come along one, or a few, at a time.

And just like a puzzle, with all the ingredients slowly falling together and in place, all the time and patience boils down to a paragon at the end.
