Relationships and Tetris may have a lot more in common than one might think. Throughout the game, you are continuously waiting. Biding your time and full of anticipation. You wait for what seems like an eternity for that straight line piece to come along so that you can finally have a 'Tetris'. You sometimes substitute other pieces just to make a line here and there, although you know that what you're really waiting for, is that one piece that will make it all come together. Finally, with no progress and no line piece in sight, you end up saying "fuck it", and you drop an L shaped piece in the hole before you try to start whittling away at the remainder of the stack. Not too long after you've called it quits, and given up on the whole ordeal, the straight piece suddenly falls down from the sky, and there's not a damn thing that you can do with it.
There's no easy answer for the right way to play the game. If there was, I'm sure that a Nobel Prize winner would have been announced for it's discovery. You may spend your whole life dormant; waiting for the missing piece that will make you whole. With each prospect, realizing that the hole never does truly get filled in. It's partially open, letting in the elements. In the back of your mind, there is always going to be the question, 'Is there another piece that may fill the hole up more than the last?'. This viscious cycle could possibly go on for an eternity. The best resolution? Stop wondering and start living. Instead of eternally searching for that perfect line piece, enjoy the game. Enjoy the L shapes, and T's, the staircases. You never know, they may just be the right shape to fill up your L-shaped empty hole.
