It's hard to watch something deteriorate in front of you. You spend so long building it up, creating this beautiful thing. A structure put together with so much love and tenacity. You put everything you have into it. And for some reason, great or small, your magnificent creation breaks. Sometimes it's instantaneous and all at once. Everything collapses without a warning. Or maybe, it was never that sturdy to begin with. It's possible you overlooked the foundation on which you started to build. You might have taken what was there for granted. And when you're left alone, standing surrounded by debris, you might feel a little lost. But do not forget that even if it's all in pieces, those fragments once made a whole. And who is to say that they can't be put back together?
