&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Typewriter Series #333 &lt;/strong&gt;by &lt;a href="http://tylerknott.com"&gt;Tyler Knott Gregson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Text below, in case it’s too tiny for your eyeballs :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“There are a few things that only time&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; can teach you and only through experience will you remember.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; The first and most haunting of these is that the day will come&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; that you will break.  Break like glass and scatter yourselves&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; out over the floor with no particular rhyme&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; and certainly no reason.  Pieces of you will fall off&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; that you never knew were there and never bothered to dwell upon.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; On this day, All I know how to say is that you must hold on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; tightly to the hope that you, beautiful and broken you,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; were made of pieces that  broke evenly.  Clean breaks&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; and sharp edges so that there will always remain the distinct&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; possibility that someone, someone more than you, will remember&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; the picture you used to paint, the vase you used to be that held&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; the water that kept the flowers of your soul alive.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; Hold on to the hope that they are coming and they&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; are the glue strong enough to erase the seams of your most&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; misfortunate fall, because you will fall.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; I see so many frantically trying to number their pieces;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; Categorize and organize and prepare themselves&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; for the break that is waiting for us all.  Do not be these&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; people and do not fall into this trap because I know a secret&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; that not even time or experience have learned yet…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; We are already broken and we have always been shattered.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; If we see ourselves as the shining and scattered portions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; of a whole and then glance inward, we will become overwhelmed&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; with the breath-stealing realization that this day,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; and every day between now and the day we become the&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; fragments again is a gift we’ve never had to open. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; You are broken, you will break.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; You are the pieces,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; but you’ll always be the whole.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; Steal back the secret and marvel&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; and let your jaw meet the floor in perfect awe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; at the pieces, the wonderful pieces&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; that are gracing the ground&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; they fell upon.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
