We are all our own masterpieces, created by the endless number of artists that have touched upon our lives; temporary, everlasting, and everything in between. We start off as a blank sheet of paper---clean, pure, and flawless (although that can be a flaw within itself). But as life begins to unfold before us, we are stained by the good, the bad, and the ugly. We are helpless, vulnerable templates exposed to the unknown. Happiness is inevitable, just as pain is unavoidable. Just when you entrust someone with your entirety, that same someone mercilessly crumbles us up into a ball. Tainted. Flawed. We aren't programs, in which we can press ctlr+z and the mistakes go away. We're just a piece of paper, where the wrinkles cannot be flattened out no matter how much we or others may try to. But everything that happens constitutes to our own masterpiece. Every stroke, every splatter, every rip and wrinkle determine the look that we display to others, and that is the only way we will portray ourselves.
All masterpieces are different. You can never find two of the same artwork no matter how much they look alike, because there will always be the slightest stroke which you miss, or the tiniest wrinkle that you did not consider. There will be artworks that juxtapose each other in the ugliest ways, but yet, there will be others that complement each other beautifully. Each piece of paper will go through unimaginable experiences, but those are the experiences that will speak with each other in a way that only they can witness the beauty.
But of course, we are our own artists as well. We are our own original artist. We determine what to keep, what to omit, and how to respond and deal with certain problems. We are put out there in a vulnerable position, but yet, we can control that type of vulnerability. We control our final look, because it is the original artist that adds the finishing touches to his/her work.
Once in a while, the artist should take a step back to admire the work and progress made, and to admire the beauty of the steps taken to get there.
