Pieces. A bit for someone here. A bit there. And sometimes they don't add up to anything whole. But you are so busy dancing. Delivering. You don't have time to notice. Or are afraid to notice. And then one day you have to look. And it's true. All of your pieces fill up other people's holes. But they don't fill your own. Mary E. Pearson
About This Quote

The idea of pieces is a more subtle way of saying that people do not make a whole. We all have some pieces missing, some people have more. When you are dancing, delivering, or trying to be somebody else, you get all mixed up and lose track of who you really are. And then one day you have to look at yourself and see what you have been doing.

Maybe you have been dancing too hard, delivering too much for others, or trying to be something you are not. You don't have time to notice because you are so busy being all of the things that everyone else wants you to be
