Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold, making the otherwise broken and useless piece of pottery even stronger and more beautiful than before.
I use to think of myself as a broken person, that good things in life weren’t for me because I was a cup that couldn’t hold water. But we aren’t ever broken, simply in need of repair. The repairing/healing process, although difficult, gives us opportunities and perspectives that we never would have had if we didn’t “break.” Those are the experiences that makes us stronger, more unique, and prepared for any future cracks.
