I don't know what to write, or how to comment on this writeup, it is waoooo because it melts my heart with its facts and other analogies whish are true.
I specially like this analogy of your: " An analogy that I like to use is to think of your life as a painting, everything you do, every effort you make is a stroke of the brush and it will take thousands of strokes and many hours for the painting, the image to reveal itself and display its beautiful colors." Good work @chbartist.
