About This Quote
When I was younger, I suffered from depression. I felt like I was cursed, and that no one could ever love me. One day, I opened up my closet and looked at the clothes I had acquired over the years. I was surprised to see that some of them were beautiful pieces of art.
Many of them had unique designs and colors, but they all had something in common. They were all pieces of art, but they were all different forms of art. Different artists had made them.
And, as I continued to open up my closet, the thing that amazed me most was that each piece of art had a unique story behind it. The clothes were not just clothes at all; each was a piece of art waiting to be discovered. And, as my personal struggle with depression ended, I found that each piece of art that had been discovered in my closet was an opportunity to have a new life.
Each artist had given me something unique to share with the world. And so it is with every person who has ever lived on this earth. Each one has given us something special to share with the world around us by being born into our lives at just the right moment in time.
Each one lives their life with purpose and meaning, filled with lessons learned along the way that have made each of them extraordinary people.
