The other pieces of myself


Dear diary,

    You know that cliché saying that goes something like "they fit like two pieces of a puzzle"? Until some days ago I thought it meant "they fit like the only two pieces of a puzzle that go together and their encountering is so rare and fortunate". Which is wrong. That's only true if it's a 2 pieces puzzle for "3+ months". Otherwise, we're all just a random middle piece of a 500 pieces puzzle and we match between 2 and 4 other pieces either to our left, right, above or below. So no, in that big pool of 499 pieces left, we don't match just ONE, kids. Look around, we're incomplete without the other neighboring pieces! The big puzzle will only be complete after all the pieces are found. 
   Some pieces are smart and hard-working and they don't give up so easily because they love puzzles so they find their mates easily and they'll be soon ready to get matched up with other puzzle groups. Other pieces are waiting to be found. Some wait a lot. But in the end, the world is a small place... uhm, puzzle. So they will eventually be found and the puzzle will be complete. Thing is, today we might encounter the piece that fits to our left but tomorrow we might as well find the one that fits to our right. And we'll feel just as awesome. But remember, the puzzle isn't complete until all the missing pieces are in their right spot! 
   So look around and enjoy meeting the other pieces. They might be "the sky" and you might be "the grass" but I bet you'll have things to share. In the end, we're all part of the same puzzle.

Puzzled,
D.
