Paint have different colors in different textures and shine and yet it could be easily applied into any surface and bring out the purpose into applying it just like me who could be put anywhere and any situation and easily blends and adapts to it so that I could bring out the purpose why was I put in there. Moreover, paint could make an unexciting surface more appealing and attractive just like me who can turn any dull situation into something more lively and enjoyable.

Just like me who is a normal person and can be easily be thrown with problems and circumstances that could affect my whole personality but could easily overcome it and start anew.
