Everyone has gone through a bad relationship or a rough period that really does a number on your heart and soul. We do heal and carry those scars. I absolutely embrace the idea that those scars make you who you are now, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of them.

As the Japanese do with the art of Kintsugi (mending broken pottery with gold and celebrating the rejoining of the broken items), we are even more beautiful because of the scars from what we have gone through.

We heal and become a stronger, better version of ourselves with more joy, compassion, and love.

We are beautiful.  Celebrate yourself.
