Self Love: Scars and all
When something breaks, it will never be as it was before. No amount of super glue or duct tape can force something back to the way it was in the past. The cracks will still be there; some pieces might even stay missing for good. Once broken, a thing will never be the same. Maybe it will be better than it was before, made stronger when it is put back together. There is a practice in some cultures where gold is used to seal the cracks, making the broken thing more beautiful and valuable. Or perhaps it will be more like scar tissue; it will look stronger than it was and even feel thicker but be weaker than it was and less able to withstand the wear and tear of life. And the thing about broken objects is this, whether they come out stronger after the break or weaker, they can always be broken again.
