The Beauty in Brokenness

November 8, 2024

There’s something profoundly beautiful in this simple yet powerful message. It’s easy to look at someone and see only their cracks—the imperfections, the scars, the remnants of battles they’ve fought. A critical world might zero in on these “flaws,” but how often do we stop and appreciate the strength it takes for a person to piece themselves back together?

This quote by Sharan Wilkie captures that truth so gracefully. She reminds us that each crack is a testament to resilience, each scar a story of survival.

When we take a moment to understand the story behind each person, we tap into something deeply human within ourselves. The more we look beyond appearances, the more we realize how much beauty exists in the courage it takes to make oneself whole again. So next time we encounter someone who’s “put together” yet clearly lived through life’s storms, let’s appreciate the beauty of their journey.

After all, it’s not the flawless who inspire us, but those who rise from the broken pieces.
