Searching for the missing pieces

We are all searching for the missing pieces of our lives or ourselves. Maybe that's the meaning of life, that's what keeps us alive and gives our existence meaning. Maybe writing is also a form of this search. And as I have been writing on this blog, I have also realized that while it started out being about running and science, I love writing about all kinds of things. So why not? Any way in which we find a little piece of ourselves adds some new meaning to our lives.

..."Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time."...
