Did anyone break your trust? Did you feel broken at anytime? Did you feel betrayed or shattered? Is there any way to come out of it?

You may have heard that, 'You can't fix what has been broken. Even if you try to glue it back, it will never be the same'. I humbly would want to submit that nobody stops us from making it better, why bother about keeping it same? Why not more valuable than before?
Someone rejects you, you become shattered. How about working on yourself and becoming more valuable and let the person who rejected you regret his/her decision.
In Japan, they have an art form called Kintsugi in which breaks and repairs are treated as part of the object's history. Kintsugi means "golden joinery" in Japanese. Broken ceramics are carefully mended by artisans with a lacquer resin mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. The repairs are visible, yet somehow beautiful. These mended objects look magnificent and their value gets enhanced.
Think about it. Every painful experience has provided us golden deeper insights, wisdom and strength. We all have a choice, whether we wish to become wounded or wiser. Do we learn our lessons after such incidents and become stronger or ignore the lessons and become victims? "What doesn't kill me, just makes me stronger.' Think.
