We Are a Mosaic of Everyone We've Ever Loved
A composition of colorful, jagged fragments.
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I’ve ever known.” — Chuck Palahniuk
This quote completely resonates with me.
Indeed, nothing within is original.
We’ve inherited everything that defines us as individuals. Our genetic makeup partially determines a great deal of who we are; the rest derives from our interactions with others and our environment.
Yet the combination of these traits is what makes each person unique.
I also like to think of people as unfinished art pieces.
Each person is characterized by their very own mix of colors, shapes, and textures. Composed of the bits and pieces people leave within us, we are very much a work in progress, with new parts being added as we go through life.
I perceive myself as a huge, vibrant, and colorful mosaic.
Formed by hundreds of small squares, each representing an imprint left on my heart. An artistic expression portraying the complexity of my inner self, endlessly expanding as my journey continues.
