Kintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken pottery. Instead of concealing the cracks, gold is used to emphasize the beauty of what was once broken. The moment we accept and share our struggles, is the moment we begin to paint our own cracks with sold, wear them with pride as they are a map of a life lived, leaving us stronger and more beautiful than before.
