Pieces to a Puzzle

I'm sure most of you have completed or helped someone complete a puzzle. It's not always easy to figure out depending on how many pieces, and the difficulty level. First you have to get all the edges and then sort all the same color pieces and so on and so forth. I like to relate my life to a puzzle right now. I believe my live is still in the box and is quite a difficult one to figure out. I sometimes find that there is a piece missing for the border.

I'm at a point where I'm barely beginning my puzzle but I would like to know that all my pieces are there. I just got back from visiting family and got to thinking about regrets. My parents are divorced so visited both sets of grandparents. I got to wondering what really happened between my parents and anybody really that gets divorced, I know there are many reasons to divorce. Do my parents or anyone divorced ever regret marrying? How do you fall out of love so easily with being with someone for years? Its interesting isn't it love? Do they regret falling out of love, do they regret being with each other for so long and then suddenly its over? These are interesting questions of life.

I try to live life with no regrets, yes there a few mistakes I wish I could change or have done differently but that's life. As I think about my puzzle and all the pieces I have. Ive given people in my life my pieces. I've invest a lot in my relationships, friendships, family,and acquaintances. Everyone I've met has a piece of me with them. And I have a piece of everyone I've met. Isn't it neat that people walk in and out of your life everyday and somehow you have interacted a piece of you will be with them and them with you. I guess something I regret well not really regret  but the way I treat people. I like to think I'm a fairly decent human being I'd give you the shirt off my back if you needed it but sometimes I don't think I'm fair to everyone. I know I can't save the world but I like to think if I really wanted to I could make a difference. Maybe one day.

 Do what is right is what we are taught. What if the right thing isn't what you think it is? When doing a puzzle there are tricky pieces that fool you to make you think it's the right piece. What if the wrong thing is what is really right? I think I listen to my head more then my heart a lot of time. People say follow your gut instinct I don't always. I think your heart is right I need to listen to my heart. I like to think I go after what I really want but if that was the case I wouldn't be sitting on my couch binge watching Netflix, applying for jobs on a daily basis I'd be doing anything in my power trying to find my path, finish my puzzle. I need to focus on what I want what makes me a whole rather then sitting in this box waiting to be completed.

Sorry random very random thoughts this past couple of days. If you stopped reading a long time ago I don't blame you. But if you did read all the way and have your puzzle completed I could use some words of advice. Follow my heart, make some wrong turns, mistakes along the way and go after what I  want, try to do me.

Till Next Time,
