Last night, I caught up with a dear friend. The kind of friend who doesn’t require updates or explanations—the years fall away, and the connection feels timeless.
We met for drinks and did a puzzle together. We sat at a hotel table, sifting through the chaos of a jigsaw puzzle. At first, it was overwhelming—scattered pieces, mismatched shapes, and no clear starting point. But then, patterns emerged. Edges defined themselves. Colors began to align. Piece by piece, the picture revealed itself.
Life is like that, isn’t it? Often, it feels disjointed, as if the pieces will never fit. But with patience—and perhaps the help of someone who sees the bigger picture—the pieces start falling into place.
Friendship works this way too. It doesn’t always require grand gestures or constant maintenance. Sometimes, it’s just sitting together, letting the pieces find their place, and marveling at how the picture always comes together in the end.
This season, maybe it’s time to pull out a puzzle—not just the kind on the table, but the kind in your relationships, your work, or your dreams. You might find the missing pieces are closer than you think.
