one day i was playing with one of my little friends that i spend so much time with, and we were building with blocks.. all kinds of blocks. big ones, small ones, red ones, and green too, He worked so hard getting his castle just right.. when i block fell down he would put it back so carefully trying his hardest to keep it just the way he wanted it!
once coming close to the ending putting on the finishing touches, he stood up tall and said "IM DONE... a castle" with that.. his brother runs through the room and pushes over all the blocks to the ground broken in many pieces, destroyed.. The little guy sits and looks at the mess, and starts balling.. and says how do i ever make it like that again? it took so long.. now its just everywhere.. where do i begain to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.
just like that.. its gone.. hours, days and years to build it up... seconds to destroy it.. many would say but you can rebuild it bigger and stronger and better.. but others will just put the blocks away and not try anymore.. I am not sure which one i am.. as of right now I am trying to figure out what piece to pick up first and put back together? because I am not sure where to start.

I found out a month ago that my publishing company is closing--big brother came in and in one swift meeting knocked all of my/our blocks down. I'm not only losing my job, I'm losing a big piece of my identity, and the blocks all over the floor is a perfect metaphor. Now I have to decide what to build, and then begin building it, and the process is exhausting. It will be different, it may be better, but it will never be the castle I had.
I hope he built the blocks up again anyway.
