Starting to put the puzzle together, you have to choose to commit or abandon this journey. This is one of those life altering adventures.
Stories have to be told or they die.....
Where do you put the first piece?
Where will you start looking for the true picture.
What if you discover that a lot of the pieces have never been taken out of the box?
Which pieces of the story are missing?
Holding pieces so tightly in your hands. But you don't have the courage to put them down. You might not even be aware that your are holding them at all.
What if the pieces are invisible, or only reflections. Can we face those reflections and accept the truth of what we see. Will we be able to find and recognise the invisible ones?
How do you complete the puzzle if some of the pieces are lost forever? Those pieces that represent situations that you can't forget, or words that you never said and things you never did, heartbreaks and disappointments, even choices you made.
Pieces representing feelings that you never want to feel again. Even feelings that you are not ready to feel. Maybe you never will.
Memories stuck in your head and heart.
Accepting the dark pieces that will never be clear again. Accepting that you might be exhausted trying to flip pieces facing down around, and never turn them around ever.
The pieces might even be broken and can never be glued together again. But these pieces still have a place in your puzzle.
All of these different pieces completing the picture.
Piecing the puzzle together might take the rest of your life. Maybe you will never complete the puzzle.
I choose to start my puzzle! I will fight! I will remember and I will feel, until I can see the clear wonderful picture that is me!
