When a bowl is broken in Japan, it’s put back together with cracks being filled with gold, creating a beautiful lining; this is to emphasise the beauty in what was once broken. They believe, when something has suffered damage and has history, it makes it more beautiful. The same goes for human beings, everything that you have been through or you’re going through, its doesn’t make your life uglier. Although, it may seem that way when you’re going through it, but it’s up to us to choose to paint or struggle. You are not broken beyond repair, you can pick yourself up and learn from what has happened and become a better person from it. You can wear your scars proudly as a badge of honour as if to say.. look what i have been through, its made me who I am today and I can get through anything life puts in front of me now. Nobody has had a perfect life and no body ever will.
A wise man once said, “Every next level of your life will demand a new you”
Sometimes, you need to break down, in order to become that new version of yourself. So, if you’re going through hard times, hold on tight, you’re just stepping up.
