We spend a lot of time today curating and hiding away our flaws, over polishing the perceptions have of us through digital platforms, but what if we were to celebrate our flaws, discuss our difficulties and share our journey of how we got to where we are.
the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi is all about this the full definition below:
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
Could you add some Kintsugi thinking in your life?
