As I watched the little boys in class over the years playing with Lego's, they would just dig in the big Rubbermaid bin and pick out different pieces to different sets, snapping together all the mismatched pieces to form one character.
A little bit of Pirate-Man, Space-Man, Construction-Man and The Knight. Coming together to create their "hero". Their ideal guy. One whom could find the hidden treasure, dream and see things that are out of this world, build anything, and do it all with chivalry. Oh, what a man!
Wouldn't it be great if we could form our own men who would posses all that? Taking this ones humor and talents, that guys looks, this ones values, and that ones commitment to relationships, goals and dreams? Piecing together Thee Guy? Thee one we have diligently searched for, in hopes of someday finding?
Well, we know the routine right?
No matter how loud we sing, 'Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team.' while sorting through life's bin of men, it won't make it all work out the way we want, will it? We can't take this mans heart and that mans brain and make it fit where it doesn't belong now can we, no matter how determined and hard we push. Some pieces of people just aren't ever going to be compatible matches.
But you know what?
I can build a real Lego me! I can find the pieces of the woman I want to be and add them here and there until I have become someone whom I would want to be married to.
I can work on creating a new me, while I of course am belting out, 'Everything is awesome when you're living your dream' !
