💧 The Story of the Broken Cup

There was once a woman who held a cup close to her heart.

It was delicate, precious, and it carried everything she thought she needed—love, security, dreams.

But one day, the cup slipped from her hands and shattered.

Pieces scattered everywhere.

She fell to the floor, trying desperately to glue it back together, to make it look whole again.

No matter how hard she tried, the cracks showed.

And for a while, she believed she was broken too.

But then she learned of an art called kintsugi—where broken pottery is repaired with gold.

The cracks are not hidden. They are filled with something more valuable, making the cup even stronger and more beautiful than before.

So she stopped hiding her own cracks.

She filled them with courage. With forgiveness. With love.

And just like the golden cup, her life became not just whole again—but radiant.
