Pieces (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)

Soo I wrote this in Old Testament... enjoy it haha

We're all made up of parts and piece; different sizes, different shapes and different portions, and they all make up the person we are today.
In our lives we're steady giving away pieces while steady receiving them. We give away pieces of our heart, pieces of our time, pieces of our personality, pieces of our opinion, and pieces of our money. All the while receiving in return pieces of advice, pieces of friendships and relationships, pieces of character, pieces of teachings, and pieces of love. Your relationships with people determine the amount of pieces you have/give/receive and there will always be the risk of losing and giving away more pieces than you receive.
While this intimidates us all on select levels, I believe it should encourage us to give away more pieces than we're comfortable with because what is a life lived if you've kept all your pieces to yourself?
I myself am made up of many pieces and they make up all of who I am. I have piece after piece given to me by my parents whose pieces are soe of the most important and fundamental pieces I'll ever posses, I have pieces from the kids I've worked with..their pieces some of the sweetest and innocent I have in my whole person, I have pieces from the dear friends who have shaped a lot of my life on who and what I am and what I believe, I have pieces of the teachers and adults who have been strong influences in my life, I have pieces from every single one of my siblings (I value these the most), I do have pieces I've given away that have never been returned, I have pieces that were given to me by force, I've given away countless pieces that I'll never be able to get back, and I've been given countless pieces I don't deserve.
Above all else all of the pieces have had love in them. Love that was too young, love I didn't deserve, and love that has passed my understanding. I didn't always recognize these pieces as love, and I still haven't, but I know that every single piece was given to work me together for good.
Everyone is given pieces; they're all different shapes, sizes, and portions and they all make up the person we are today. Throughout our lives we scatter our pieces, we examine them, we take them for granted, we give them away, we keep them to ourselves, and over all we will never truly understand the impact they have on us.


I'm not sure where it came from but it kept me awake during class.. :))
