Zooming Out on Life

By T.L. Amber

By T.L. AmberPublished 28 days ago 1 min read

Life is a collection of imperfect movements…

A series of squiggly lines,

Zig zags,

And blobs of color.

From up close we can see all the cracks and crevices

Of the portraits we’re portraying to the world,

Which appears random.

It’s only when we zoom out that

We see how each seemingly chaotic element adds to

The beauty of our masterpiece.

Embrace the imperfections.

Take a step back and

Admire your painting thus far.
