Ive seen alot of people feeling broken lately and I felt compelled to share my thoughts.
Things happen in our lives which create pain and making us feel broken. Whatever it is from a broken spirit to heart to broken value of ourselves. We tend to crawl into a corner and shut ourselves in and away from others and everything. It’s during these times that there are those who will try and prey on what they believe is our vunerbility because they see us as weak. They’ll try and convince you that you need to break your entire foundation of what makes you,who you are to create change. But what if I were to tell you that isn’t necessary to do.
The pieces which are broken are still part of you. And it’s hard to try and heal from feeling broken. I believe that Beauty lies in the whole piece which includes the broken part. Let me explain.
The Japanese are notorious for never throwing away anything which can be fixed. Especially delicate pieces. It’s called Kintsugi. The art of fixing broken pottery. They take lacquer with gold to repairs the piece. It not only strengthens it. But enhances it’s existing beauty. Each broken part of the piece signifies the trials and pain it goes thru on its journey.
Well, I believe we can use the same theory in our lives. We get so focused on us feeling so inadequate and not worthy when we feel broken,that we miss our own beauty. We don’t have to start over. We just have to take the broken parts and add Love,Compassion, kindness, empathy to ourselves. We tend to give those things to others but for some reason we tend to be very sparing with those things when it concerns us. You know the old adage ” What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger”? Well, it’s true. Once you apply self love,that part of the areas which were broken actually bring strength to the rest of our life. We need to enhance our beauty using the whole person. Not just parts of us. What makes us,who we really are,is already in us. If we take and show our true selves with all of our repairs, we stay true to ourselves.
Every expiriance we go thru,despite good or bad teaches us. We should not disquise our experiences. Our journey in life,put together make us..well… us. Every feelin and emotion we go thru creates more of who we are. Don’t hide them. Embrace them. Don’t let anyone try and convince you that every part of you,your thinking,and the way you look are wrong. Don’t fix what’s not broken and fix what is and enhance your beauty.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Go look into your mirror and see your beauty💗©
