Jigsaw

Life is a jigsaw puzzle we slowly piece together year after year over our lifetimes. We work on it methodically until a visible picture begins to emerge which, when we first began, did not yet exist in our minds. We develop an understanding of human nature which hopefully includes ourselves and learn how to live in a world that does not always welcome who we are. 

This has been my mission all along: to comprehend. 

Unfortunately there isn't always logic involved because humans are primarily emotional creatures who adopt rationality as second resort. Once we understand this it becomes a little easier to navigate when we know there are battles not worth engaging in.

This knowledge has increased my disappointment in people overall but made it easier to spend my energy wisely. I want to focus on the connections that enrich my existence and allow me to enrich theirs.
