Tangles Of Life

If I could sum up my life in a single picture it would have to be this one, a big fat tangle:

Like when your headphones are all tangled up. How do they get that way, when you leave them all nice and straight. It's as though they come to life whilst you're sleeping or away and decide to play 'hide-en-seek'. Except there's nowhere for them to hide since they're attached to each other. So they just end up getting into a mess and later cause a great deal of frustration when you find them!

And when you finally straighten yourself out, you wonder about the meaning of life, was it worth getting all those tangles straightened out??:

And sometimes... well you just got to search for it else where:

... and wish for the best...

And maybe, just maybe, things start happening. The jigsaw puzzle of your life starts falling into place, and you know gleefully that your pet dog called Snowy hasn't swallowed a piece! Finally you can see the whole picture, and you think to yourself that at last your dreams can actually come true:

But life isn't as simple as that. One too many sugar-rushes to the head start to make you curious. Questions about your kingdom full of chocolate and worst, your life:

... and then bad things start to happen. You start to resent those around you, especially all those annoying silly people with their fake smiles:

... thus, you come to the conclusion that if you were content with what you previously had before, your life wouldn't be in a big tangle once again, and you therefore wouldn't be forced to live with all the crazy people of the world... except there's no one left. Your only friends are the tablets you stumble upon, which help make you lucid, and your final thoughts are that at least you didn't succumb to Alzheimer's:

... is there such a thing as destiny??... I'm still searching for my jigsaw pieces.
