There is no such thing as the indefinite completion of a masterpiece. The entire point of a masterpiece is that it is a work in progress. The emphasis is on the process—it just continues to evolve and gets better and better as time goes on, and you put in the work. Date a person who knows s/he is a work in progress and deliberately chooses each day to do his/her work. Date a being who knows s/he is not perfect and can wear their humility and commitment to being a human better than any silk robe ever made. Love a person who knows enough to know there is a lot of stuff s/he has yet to know. Someone who knows knowledge is power, but that patience brings peace. Spend time with a person who sees spaces that need tending to and somehow only sees the opportunity for growth, the openness and possibility for things to feel and be better. Bring a pizza to a human who is committed to the journey more than s/he is committed to the outcome, someone who finds the meaning in the steps over the meaning in the destination. Share a film with a being who works on themselves for the sake of everyone s/he is around, out of love for the people s/he loves most—especially him/herself. When you date a living creature that actually works on themselves, you are dating someone who has the intention for things in their world to endlessly be improving. The truth about being with someone who works on themselves is that things will always find a way to be better, to feel better—that is just the life they live. That is just the work they do. Things grow when you water them every day. Things blossom when the effort is apparent, when it has been mindfully touched with the intent to expand. Woo a soul that works on him/herself, because s/he will know how to work on the love you create. Dance with a character that works on their existence, because s/he will know how to mend, offer patience, and put things back together over and over and over again— s/he does this by nature.
