I don’t think we start out broken but I also don’t think we start out whole and become broken by life.
I think we start out incomplete, like a started puzzle.
We take pieces and add them as we go.
Sometimes pieces we needed are lost and we must grieve.  That space can only be filled with memories.
Sometimes it takes years to realize that pieces we thought fit, just don’t.
When we have the strength, we remove those pieces.
Then we have a choice…search and fill those spaces with pieces that truly fit,
Or learn to love the pieces we have and accept that if something comes along that is meant to be part of our puzzle, there will always be space for it.
The key I think is to never leave those spaces empty…fill them with love, gratitude, kindness, hope and good things.
When a piece comes along that we choose to add, all those good things needn’t be removed, they simply become the glue that hold our pieces in place ❤
