thought: what if everyone, when they were born, were given a puzzle to put together. Some people had simple puzzles, they didn't take very long. Others like us had extremely confusing and intricate ones. Each piece would be a problem you are had to solve, within it contained a great lesson. You would form an intimate connection with each piece, knowing it's every feature. Some pieces would be sharp and scary, they would take you on a exhausting journeys. Some would be easy and logical. You wouldn't be able to find the answers from any one else, they wouldnt know, its not their puzzle. You could look at it at any time though and see how far you have come, how close you are to finishing. Sometimes this would scare you, you wouldn't  know how to be without your puzzle, so you start over to try and have more time with it. Other times you would hate your puzzle because you can't find where any of the pieces go, so would you throw it out. But it always comes back. When it did you would realize you can complete another piece you could only learn from starting over. One day,  you might decide to finish the puzzle and love the process, and then you would finish. You would not be angry, or sad. you would rejoice because you will have a masterpiece before you. Laying there will be the greatest version of you, the thing you have worked so hard to complete and gotten to know so deeply in the process. You are the puzzle. Put yourself together, no one else can.
