The Grand Puzzle has broken

It still surprises me when people change over night. Lately I've witnessed it several times, but still, it seems I'll never grow accustomed to it.

It seems our expectations are turning on us, continually poking us in that, oh-so-annoying way. We see it fit that everything will fall into place as we wish it, never sparing a thought to the puzzles the people around us are building. Why can't people face the fact that it's not all about them? They even argue that they are aware of other people's needs, but still they think other people should pay more attention to theirs. And that's the bottom line.


We fail to include others in our puzzle, seeing it fair, as they fail to include us.

I'm struggling with the idea of me being the only one building a grand puzzle. I simply don't want to believe it. Yet, I'm pushed closer and closer to that conclusion, day by day, as I see how my closest friends turn on each other, all because of their personal expectations and their loss of their once existent reason I knew them to have.

I'm left wondering if they'll go back to normal when this is all over.
As people manage changing over night, maybe they can change for good, and not bad, for once.
