A Fit

Not the spasm sort but relating to people who makes you feel entirely comfortable around them. When this comfort extends from a person to the entire social circle of this person, it almost feels like a jigsaw fit. Mind you that in life, jigsaw fits will always have the impressions and the lines. The picture will not be perfect but you'd take it for the way it is because you paid for a jigsaw and have accepted the very way it came in. To even complete the jigsaw puzzle should be a feat in itself.

In most young minds, the thought is always the search for the high definition picture. But it occurred to me that the senior folks are very much satisfied with their pixelated screens as long as they carry the right message. In both views, different messages from a very same pictures are conveyed depending on their respective recipients. At the age straddling both bands, the expectations are better managed and not compromised. In search of very different objectives, the starting line will differ.

People come and go in our complicated lives and at various points of the timeline, the same footprints will inevitably cross our paths. The rest of how the history should be written depends on how we write them. Keeping the objectives clear will very likely steer us in the direction of the eventual goal. Having the blinkers on and the sight focused, the end point is never too far away. Yet again, these all boils down to perspective and managing expectations. The noise beyond these, should be ignored and erased. Interference will only slow down the race, albeit the race at walking speed.
