“The thing about broken hearts is, unlike a broken bone it doesn't get the time and attention it needs to heal. It goes undetected by the naked eye, so no one really knows the pain you are feeling inside.”

“Kintsugi is a Japanese art, that takes broken pottery and delicately places it back together by sealing the cracks with gold lacquer. I found myself admiring the metaphor it represents.
It reminded me of you.
Maybe you feel like you are broken inside, maybe you’re worried that you will disappoint me. Just like this pottery, life will never be perfect, but it can be beautiful. But we have to choose to see the beauty of it, not despite it’s cracks or imperfections but because of it.
I get that you may not want to show me the side of you that’s less than perfect, but don’t you see?
I don’t want perfect. Perfect is overrated.
All I want is you.
All that you are.
Exactly as you are.
I want you to know that I will wait for you, for as long as it takes.
Take your time. (but not too long)”
