We all have cracks and tears and shattered glass within…
“We all have cracks and tears and shattered glass within our souls. Some have more than others. We do not wish to seek one who has none; but we wish to find the one who can say look at me, look at this. We wish to find the one who sees every bit of broken glass and who will put those pieces into the palms of our hands and say please keep them. And we wish to be that kind of person, too. This is how it should be”
