It's a new month at Aortic Hope!
๐ฅฃIf you're feeling broken by your chronic illness or aortic disease, don't despair. There's an ancient Japanese art that can help you heal: ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.
๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ is the practice of repairing cracked pottery with gold, silver, or platinum. The idea is to embrace the flaws and imperfections, and make them part of the beauty. Sounds nice, right? But how does it apply to your chronic illness or aortic disease?
๐คWell, think of your body as a precious vase. It may have some cracks and chips, but that doesn't mean it's worthless. On the contrary, it means it has a history, a story, a character. And you can fill those cracks with something valuable: your ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. You can make your scars shine like gold.
โค๏ธInstead of feeling ashamed or broken by our condition, we can embrace it as part of our story and identity. We can find strength and resilience in our scars, and celebrate the uniqueness and value of our lives. ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ teaches us that there is beauty in imperfection, and that healing is possible.
๐จIf you have the time and can go to the store, pick up a piece of pottery (a bowl is easy), using a small hammer and a cloth for protection, wrap the bowl and hit it with the hammer a few times until it breaks into larger pieces. Hitting the bowl can actually be a bit therapeutic too.
๐Next, using gold epoxy, glue the pieces back together. After it dries completely, you will find that you have a broken bowl, that is now put back together, not in its original form but it is beautiful nonetheless.
๐You have now turned your pain into art. You are a ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ master of your own life!
