Biologically, Life is defined as a being’s time from birth to death. Every living thing has its life. Its own cycle, own habitat, own life processes. But, the thing common between all living beings is Death. Death is guaranteed once a living thing is born. Philosophically life is like an art, and the being living it is its artist. However the artist drives the paintbrush of decisions with colors of emotions on the canvas of life, the result comes as worked. If you paint decisions and colors of emotion carefully, preventing errors, taking risks, not being afraid, know what’s good for the painting and know what’s bad, the image of life will turn out wonderful, ironic, and idyllic. However, if you don't, the image of life will be the worst. Worse than anything. Life needs to be memorable to your deepest soul. If something is letting you down, let go of it. But just know that worrying too much can lead to a being’s downfall. Sometimes the artist makes mistakes, but they always have a way to learn from that mistake and improvise it on the spot. Life is like that too. You make mistakes, huge ones. You just have to make it right on the spot. And wait for the right time to stroke the paintbrush of decisions on the canvas of life, if you’ve made a mistake.
Life is beautiful, so are the colors of emotions. Every color has its own depiction of speciality. Just like how every emotion holds its role, importance, and speciality in one’s life. Everyone’s art piece of life is different. Some are simple and plain, while others are complex, hard to understand, just unexpectedly overwhelming. You never know what could happen and when. You could run out of colors (emotions), the canvas (life itself) may be full, the stroke of paintbrush (decisions) may not be right, and when that happens, you improvise. Just like how a real artist can turn a single dot into a marvelous piece of art, as beautiful as a gumusservi. There’s a French saying, “Il Faut Vivre Comme On Pense, Sans Quoi I'on Finira Par Penser Comme On A Vécu.” which means “We must live as we think, otherwise we will end up thinking as we have lived”. It’s true isn't it? We take life for granted sometimes. You should never do that. Have fun and live life to the fullest. Many people in life come and go. But there’s that one person who you can never let go. That person paints your canvas of life with bright colors and better strokes of paint brushes. Sometimes you fail to understand that. Sometimes you do. It's only about time. Only Time. Life’s like an art exhibition. The best pieces stay there forever, while some get forgotten real quick. If you as an artist paint life with that one person, that everyone visualizing your piece will know what hard work, sacrifices you’ve made to make that art piece memorable. Every artist needs a break sometimes. Don't let that break what art you’ve made and what you will make.
Sometimes you need someone to help you. Hold your hand and paint your art piece on the canvas of life for you. And due to worry, some people fail to understand how elysian that person has made your canvas of life with their share of strokes of paintbrushes and colors. Don't let that ever bring you down and what you’ve made with that being. The paintbrush needs to be good as well. If you have a bad paintbrush, it spoils your art right? Taking that example, you need to make decisions in your life which are truly perfect for you. Make yourself the best paintbrush you can. Fill your canvas of life with beautiful colors and adequate strokes of paint brushes with the correct colors to make your painting/art piece the best that the world has ever seen. And never forget to help people around you…Even if it ruins your art sometimes, because later on you go to realize that, the ruinous act of the people who helped you, are the best for your art piece. Stay there for that person always, even if it means you don't finish your art piece on time, because the help you get from them will make your art piece of life the best. Don’t let the mistakes you’ve made let you down and make bad strokes of paintbrush in your life.. That one person will always be there to take your hand and help you paint the painting of your life till the end. You just have to trust them cause they know what’s best for you, and has been painting that part of the canvas, even if they started painting after you. Cause at the end, that person will be the one making your painting beautiful in a way that no one could even imagine. Just take care…and Safe journey for you wonderful people’s painting through life’s canvas ahead… ( Strokes of Paintbrush = Decisions that you’ve made in life, Colors = Emotions, Art Piece = Life itself)
