Variations on a theme

I'm broken

My tracks run from both ears down to the bottom of my ribs

I have so much scar tissue on my neck my head has a 45° field of movement when I try to turn it.

But these scars tell my story. And like a beautiful Japanese kintsugi pot, they tell the story of me still being alive...
Fuck ....
I love you, mate.
So glad you are here.
 
After my divorce nearly everything was broken... My heart, my life... And in my move out of my home I'd shared with my husband, pretty much every tea cup I'd spent years collecting broke. To me, this picture represents my start over. And that out of broken things we can rebuild something beautiful.

This plate is one of the most honest posts ive seen.

I think you're beautiful. ❤️

And I thought the song was appropriate.

The last thing you are is broken..... ♥️
 
A broken 'selfie'
Very creative and well-executed. 🤩

A story of strength and perseverance and a beautiful photo. The layering, arrangement, and choice of pieces is creative and artistic... it definitely makes the pieces feel like part of a cohesive whole. 😍

They tell the story of you becoming stronger and more beautiful despite being broken... and likely, in some ways, because of it. ❤️

Trencadis is a Catalan term for a style of non-traditional mosaic that uses broken tiles and chinaware originally made for other uses. Gaudi was a big fan of the technique.
