So me and a friend wanted something to do..we decided to get a puzzle because it had been forever since ive done them and we thought it would be fun. 500 piece puzzle? too easy. We went with 1000 pieces, bad idea. I have never been so frustrated and unpatient in my life. Sitting on my floor with all the pieces scattered around me made me go crazy. I was staring at them hoping somehow they would magically put themselves together. But the border was the only thing that we accomplished in a day and a half.
I thought this puzzle would teach me patience and that things take time, but it only frustrated me to the point that i was really upset. I then realized our lives our like a puzzle. We want things to be put together and work out in that moment, but it cant happen like that. It takes time because you have to have certain pieces put together before the other ones can be added. So many times i think to myself, why cant it just happen right now?! but i now know that i have to get other parts of my life in order before my future can be realized. =)
LOVE THIS! SOOOOO true too. SO glad we decided to to the puzzle because we got to relate it to life. love that. hate that it made us so frustrated and that we couldnt finish it lol. were gunna have to try that again sometime...maybe.
