Kintsugi Experience

We often serve as vessels, striving for perfection and concealing our imperfections. Yet, when we learn to embrace and ascend from our trials and tribulations, those cracks become our most cherished facets, our golden attributes, setting us distinctly apart.

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.

_H. Ellis
