Kind of a Wreck, Kind of a Leader

Sometimes life feels a lot like a puzzle.

You’re the piece. And some days it feels like you were pushed into the wrong spot. It might even look like you “fit,” but something still feels off. Other times you start to wonder if your whole piece ended up in the wrong box to begin with.

Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to find the right place for myself. Not the spot I can squeeze into, not the one that others think works, but the one that actually matches the picture I’m trying to build.

Finding the right fit takes honesty. It takes letting go of places where you’ve forced yourself to stay. And it takes trusting that there is a puzzle where your piece makes sense, where the edges line up, and where the bigger picture reflects who you want to be.

I’m working on that. And if you are too, you’re not alone.
