You're not at where you're supposed to be.
Think of a puzzle of the biggest size you can possibly imagine. Now, look into the pieces of this puzzle in detail. They are unique, aren't they? Each and every one of them.
That's us. You and me.
The coolest thing that I find about a puzzle is that nothing fills the space but the piece made to fit in it, no matter how hard you try, you can't force a piece that doesn't belong. The problem with these pieces, however, is when we try to force them into places they are not made for, their edges get crumpled and their shapes are ruined, then finally, they can never fit in the puzzle anymore. You do realize I'm not just talking about puzzles here, right?
This is happening around us at this very moment.
We try too hard to fit in. Condemned by the norm of the society, we are all bound by the fear to be different, to stand out. Eventually, we set foot in the comfort zone where we believe it would be the "safest" and we begin to settle down, undermining our actual capability, because They say it's the best choice for us. It's as if we are so hurried to jam all the pieces together because we can't wait to solve the puzzle then later on finding ourselves lost, failing to complete the bigger picture.
Seriously, what's the rush?
Don't settle for second best. Even if it's close to filling the space, don't force yourself into settling for something that is not what you have always wanted. Be it education, work, circle of friends or even relationships, don't settle just because it's almost a perfect fit. You know when it doesn't fit, don't compromise or give in, do something about it.
If there's some part of you that wavers right now, hold on to it. There's a perfect fit for everything out there, you just gotta hang on.
