when it all comes down to it, i think that life is like a puzzle. we spend our entire lives trying to gather the proper pieces that we need to make us whole. for most of us it will take many years to accomplish this and in some cases we might not ever finish the puzzle. along the way we experiment and try different pieces out to see if they fit well and sadly most of them don't really work out. we just end up tossing them into the used pile and moving onto the next batch. constantly searching. the hardest part of the whole process is that we know what pieces we need or what pieces we want. so when we don't find them right away we often get discouraged and sad. it's nothing to worry about though, because eventually the right piece will come along and we will be one step closer to determining what this life means. once all of the pieces are in place and you've made something you just have to be able to look at it and feel like you've accomplished something.

maybe all life is about is trying to be happy
maybe all life is about is trying not to be sad
maybe all life is about is trying to be content
