Thought to myself, I should make a mold of this mug, I like it so much. Proceeded to wash it, put it in my purse to have tea in for my last shift @oakley, and dropped it in the driveway trying to juggle bags to locate my keys. All the pieces fit together perfectly however, and I’ve been wanting to try this #kintsukuroi business anyhow, so. Yeah.
kintsukuroi
“to repair with gold’; the art of repairing pottery with gold lacquer and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.
Kintsukuroi.

Get scared. It will do you good. Smoke a bit, stare blankly at some ceilings, beat your head against some walls, refuse to see some people, paint and write. Get scared some more. Allow your little mind to do nothing but function. Stay inside, go out - I don’t care what you’ll do; but stay scared as hell. You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.
