Puzzle of Life

Life is a puzzle, many people say that.

But then, a question popped in my mind: why do we call it puzzle? Is there any similarity between them?

As the time goes by, I finally figured out those questions. 

Life is complicated, just like puzzle.

When I was just a little girl, life was simply beautiful, innocent, and easy. It was as easy as turning my palm. There were no any worries.

At that time, I did not have any concepts or deep thoughts about life. The only thing that I did was living my life to the fullest.

But now, everything changes. Life is not as simple as I thought. It is tricky. If I choose the wrong way, I would be trapped – it would not be the same as my beautiful thoughts.

Encounter and good-byes, the inseparable duo, bring a complex feeling most of the time. It is easy to meet new people, but it is hard to let go. Sometimes, there is a reluctant feeling to let go because I have known them too long, too much to be forgotten.

Problems always come and go, no matter who you are and where you are. Although I was a good student, there was a very complex problem at school that I can recall clearly until now. It was actually a trivial problem, but it became ‘huge’ because there was a misunderstanding. It led to a bigger problem: a classmate of mine was harmed. And that’s not the only problem existed, a long list of it is still waiting to be told.

Well, life really is a puzzle. We have to decipher it bit by bit, painstakingly. The ending is determined by ourselves, and no one can change it but ourselves.
