Kintsugi

I don't remember when I shattered. Yet with each step, I am becoming more aware of the clinking pieces clashing together. What to be done with this deconstructed vessel. In one world I am already discarded rubble. Yet in another realm of thought, rehabilitation is readily accepted, even celebrated. Each wound mended in gold until whole.

I can tell that you’re a frustrated writer / poet. You have been using this forum a lot lately. Your style is easy to identify. Maybe find another outlet? Take a writing course, try submitting some things to publishers?

That's just your body falling apart, your mind and soul always continues to excell and learn and love.

Nah, these posts are great to come across. A diamond amidst all the blaming and whining.
Thanks OP. I’ve been thinking a lot about kintsugi as a more honest alternative to the endless search for a “pure,” whole version of the self that may not in fact exist.
Keep shining your veins of gold <3

What's the point of letting the body fall apart over time, though? All of the resources, relationships, learning, and nurturing that went into raising a human being, and all of their future potential as embodied beings, just abruptly cut off and killed. It's kind of tragic, in my eyes - as well as unnecessary.

Hey buckwheat
I'm not saying just let the body fall apart.
It's called old age and it's a natural part of the human existence, from the first day of your birth you are aging.
I'm saying I don't feel the mind ages like the body does. That's what I'm saying !
It's different, although the mind learns and experiences and grows, it really stays the same . Not like the body that withers and decays and eventually dies. The mind and the soul lives on in eternal youth.
One woman's thoughts and I can have my damn views :)
Cheers
