I've always been confused by media's personifications of Life. *A beautiful woman                           whose skin is flawless                           whose face is symmetric                           who has no faults* She, Life, is perfect and clean. How life truly is not A depiction of Life I give you now, one not so perfect as She before.                                            Skin and features of many                                            taking in the best and worst.                                                     A being who is strong and weak                                                     visibly ill while being well.                                 A being who is beautiful in it's -u-g-l-i-n-e-s-s-                                 or rather,                                 a being who is beautiful in it's uniqueness.                                        A being who is not perfect, but strives to be. A being who is not commonly pretty, but true to the mixture of                                  Pain and Sorrow with                                  Ease and Joy. Now I am sure you depict Life a different way. But how truthful all these depictions are for life is different to everyone.

Personification of Life
I've always been confused by media's personifications of Life. *A beautiful woman                           whose skin is flawless                           whose face is symmetric                           who has no faults* She, Life, is perfect and clean. How life truly is not A depiction of Life I give you now, one not so perfect as She before.                                            Skin and features of many                                            taking in the best and worst.                                                     A being who is strong and weak                                                     visibly ill while being well.                                 A being who is beautiful in it's -u-g-l-i-n-e-s-s-                                 or rather,                                 a being who is beautiful in it's uniqueness.                                        A being who is not perfect, but strives to be. A being who is not commonly pretty, but true to the mixture of                                  Pain and Sorrow with                                  Ease and Joy. Now I am sure you depict Life a different way. But how truthful all these depictions are for life is different to everyone.
