It's time to surrender It's been too long pretending There's no use in trying When the pieces don't fit anymore That's a chorus from James Morrison's The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore . It's an old song which I remember only because a TV program used it as a background song. Listening to this song made me think about how relationship works. You might familiar with this concept. How a person can complete each other like a piece of puzzle. but I believe there's more than that. I believe we can compare many aspect of relationship from it. But then again, as life would be, relationship is a complex stuff that can goes with pretty much everything. 1. The Pieces Creates A Bigger Picture. A puzzle is created by smaller pieces put together. A relationship is also works the same way. It consist of "small factors" to make it complete. Commitment, loyalty, time, sacrifice, and other stuff that differs from one another. Everyone tried t...

Son, this is the story about how I met your mo.. Wait! that's not it. Okay, let me start over. Dear son, I don't know why I'm writing this. I guess I had to many time on my hands. I don't even know why I'm specifically address it to a son. Maybe because I never been a daughter myself (yet?). To be honest, I'm not even sure I live long enough to have you.  ... ... Okay, that's really dark for opening a letter. Let me rephrase that; I'm not even sure if I'm lucky enough to have you.

I might not the same person I am today. I'm getting old, cranky, unhealthy, or whatever futur...

Let's go back when you were 12 years old (unless, YOU ARE 12 years old. Which makes me question what the hell are you doing here?). Now, remember how did you expect your life would be in the next 10-15 years later. We have various answer to that, but none of that results in: "probably stuck in a dead end job, still living with my parents, and burning trough my savings" . In my case, i always picturing myself figured out what i'm gonna do with my life. At 25 I'll already own a company, working with full passion, financially secure, and have my own house. At 27 maybe I've traveled to many places, met a lot of people, making new friends. And on my 30, I'll settle down, get married, started a family. I'm 28 now, and none of that happened. So, what's wrong with me? Nothing I guess. It's just life. Many people will say, if you failed then you haven't tried hard yet, or maybe you don't passionate enough. Sure, hard work and pass...
