When you are broken...

When you are broken, you can choose to hide the flaws through masks of makeup or layers of clothing or pounds of extra weight.

When you are broken, you can choose to withdraw from your life, protecting the injury from any additional trauma... hiding so that nothing increases the pain.

When you are broken, you can choose to accept that form and shape may have changed, that work will be required in the present and the future, and then practice the art of Kintsugi.

Sometimes it is important to know that things can be stronger at the mended places than ever they were when surfaces were unmarred and the illusion of perfection existed.
