This is not Euphemism

While not everyone live lives of quiet desperation or lives of grand adventure. All living people are shaped by what we see, read, and feel. Our DNA makes us, our experience shape us. Our experiences leave marks on us in ways that change us from what we were to who we are. Our openness to change is what allows us to either grow or fester. We are who we let ourselves be. That is the line that separates nature and nurture.

As our shape changes we leave holes where we use to be. These holes are just as much a piece of us as the parts are. Those empty spaces do not like being empty and we look for something to fill them. Some people find comfort in things, or money. Most look for it in other people. Here is the kicker, if people change what happens to those who use to fit? Can the puzzles be completed if the pieces change?

If we do change as we learn, can the holes be found if we don't know our shape? Is there a time where we should stop experiencing and let things flow around? When is stability more important than flexibility? What holes need to be filled to be whole?
