Broken Glass

"Some of us were made to be broken. Like a shattered piece of glass, when light shines through us it casts a more beautiful pattern of light than it would through a glass fully intact. But for us broken it is easier to hide in the shadows where no one can see our faults. Stand tall and proud and do not hide. When they see you, broken soul, they will marvel."

Think of the most inspirational stories you've heard. Are they not about someone broken who refused to stay down? They are about someone who, despite their odds and faults, chose to do something better than what people would have said was fine considering their circumstance. The broken will crash or they will fly. Come out from the shadows and take a leap of faith.
