We Break Before We Shine

I read a beautiful quote the other day, but I can’t seem to find it. I’m paraphrasing but it was something like “if we weren’t cracked or broken, the light wouldn’t be able to shine through”. I think that we all have a light inside of us, and it shines so bright but there are times when we stifle the light to keep our hearts safe. We try to dim the darkness but in doing so we dim the light.
Lets not be afraid of breaking, for when we break our light shines through.

I think the quote is from a song by Leonard Cohen: there is a crack, a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. I absolutely love that quote and I’ve started working on that concept, and on Kintsugi too!!
Great work by the way, I’ve been following you since 2014. I don’t comment often but I appreciate you voice a lot.
