Striking, Vivacious, Red....

Imagine belonging to the most absolutely amazing puzzle of all time. Medium in size, Nearly 10 pieces altogether, and absolutely exquisite. Truly a collector's edition. A puzzle you would truly be proud of being a part of, for although it is ingenious in its simplicity, it is also breathtaking in its beauty.

Every colour an outstanding shade, and not just different shades of the same family. Everything from a bright, vivacious red ;) to a dark, luxurious gold.

But what happens when that extra-ordinary puzzle becomes just a little too crowded? When the colours, somehow, don't seem to harmonise in the same way it used to? When it's almost as if, the colours are beginning to form cliques according to what family they belong to? Almost as if, the colours have secrets from each other...

Simple, there's really is only one good option.

a) You stick through it. Although it may hurt, although it may suck, although it may have the potential of turning that striking, vivacious red into a bleak grey. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. And given enough time, enough motivation and pushing, that beautiful shade of red, may once again rejoin it's counterparts and once again make that puzzle whole, for really, without that shade of red, the puzzle is quite bland...

No matter what happens though, each piece of the puzzle was given a piece of advice, all different from every other piece. And here's the advice given to the vivacious red piece;

"No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."

So what will happen to the little red piece? Will it ever regain its former shade of splendour? Or is it cursed to remain its current shade of dull grey?...Only time will tell...

Another option of course is for the formerly vivacious red piece to join up with Jack's formerly lost puzzle piece. And together the two little puzzle pieces could perhaps create their very own puzzle!! ;)!!!!
