![“We weren't friends[...]We were more like jigsaw pieces, each of us part of the same big picture. There are people like this wherever you go. They are part of the same mystery as you are, but you can't quite tell how you fit together. The world is a puzzle, and we can't solve it alone.” quote by Anonymous](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/38c/anonymous-1_big-picture_we-weren-t-friends-we-were-more-like-jig_903922.jpg)
