All I remember is throwing a piece of the jigsaw I found, in front of the kid that I had inside. I wish I had never thrown that piece inside me. From that day that kid grew an unexplainable bonding towards that piece and began craving to see the complete puzzle, craving to see where that piece would fit in. It kept asking me to find every piece of that puzzle, it kept bawling at times where I least expected it to. In an effort to silence its voice, I kept throwing every piece I found inside. Every time a new piece fell, the kid would get excited and push it towards that existing piece. Some new pieces would fit, and some wouldn't. It's been so long since it got that first piece, and it still hasn't stopped searching for all those pieces. What I fear is, in the effort to make it fit, it has ruined that one piece that it loves, and that piece would never fit into any pieces in this world. No matter even if I find all the right pieces, the puzzle would still always stay incomplete.
