Kintsugi

"You've been betrayed, you've been knocked down

Hurt by the way they've pushed you out

You were never made to fit the mold

Be a supernova and explode

You were never made to fit the mold

Be a supernova

 

You're born to light it up, with your electric love

You make them feel afraid, because you're dangerous

They'll never understand, 'cause you're a mystery

They can't contain your energy

'Cause you are lightning"

 

I am not who I was a year ago.

 

This year has had many trials and tribulations, some good, some bad, some double-edged. I am still recovering from a major medical emergency and in a situation which is prickly to navigate away from. But I have grown. I've had my trials, I've seen my mistakes, I've acknowledged my wrongdoings and I continue to better myself. My therapy has greatly helped me understand things, the why and what, and the how on to healing.

 

I was going to list everything notable here, positive and negative, but I'm already rambling far too much.

 

I am not who I was a year ago. I've been broken down into pieces, crushed and shattered, some to dust which will never be repaired. But like Kintsugi, I am slowly building myself up again, filling in the cracks with "gold"; the support by the few good friends I have, who continue to build me to a better person. They help pull me out of bad habits and refuse to let me continue suffering abuse and neglect. I love them dearly.

 

And above all, I could not have gotten through this year without my ever guiding light, my soulmate, my comfort in the dark; Grim. Here is to another year of growing, loving, and chasing away the darkness.

 

Happy New Year to you all, and I hope you have a prosperous and good 2024

 

(A note that I did make this Kintsugi tattoo for myself for this shot. If enough people are interested, I'll talk with Grim to see if we can release it as a gift; it has a lot of flaws)
