Unfinished

unfinished by Betsssssy

People studying languages might have heard the term "Imperfect" as a tense.

Imperfect tense is for actions that don't start at a particular time or end at a particular time.

"Imperfect" comes from the Latin imperfectus "unfinished" because the imperfect expresses an ongoing, uncompleted action.

Don't you think "Unfinished" is a great way to think of us imperfect people because living is an ongoing, uncompleted action?
