We don't believe that we're better for being broken.

We believe that we are flawed beyond repair. We believe that if people would see the truth of who we are that they wouldn't love us, talk to us, connect with us, care with us.

That the story of who we are - we need to filter and post only the best parts. Show the world only the most beautiful moments and those other parts that aren't so beautiful we push down deep. We hide away and we repress and we think that they're gone but they're not. They are not. They are stuck deep within you. Deep within you.

A lot of times in our world, in our lives, wTo live in this world means many things  And one of those things is that we shall be wounded and we shall wound.  We will be hurt by others and we will hurt others  You will not get through this life without being scarred in some way and without scarring others.

Leanoard Cohen wrote and sang, 

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There's a crack a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

Ring the bells that still can ring that harkens to “Yeah - you've been hurt, you've been wounded, there's some pain there but there's still beauty and there's still much more of this story ahead so ring the bells.”

Feel the vibrations
Hear the sounds

And if in that moment those sounds are full of sobs then that's what they are. That's what they are.
