I’ve had a half-completed jigsaw on my table for a while now. Jigsaws are so tantalising, they invite you to get the job done, to complete the picture, to make sense of things by putting them in order.
Relationships, not so easy.
Having irrevocably split with my boyfriend, I can’t lie, a piece of me feels missing. Relationships, remember, are a routine. There are things you will do every day that, even though annoying, provide structure.
Truth is, whenever people have referred to their significant other as ‘their other half’, I always balked at the phrase. Makes me cringe.
There are so many thoughts in your head, beliefs, principles, rules, it’s very hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.
I know in time, I’ll come back to myself again and my feet will land on terra firma.
Until then, breathe, get lots of good rest and know that it will all be okay.
This time, too, will pass.
