Finding Beauty In Imperfection

This is a wonderful discussion and something I completely agree with @Kasandra! :heart_eyes: The philosophy of Japanese Wabi Sabi is fascinating and can really help to put things (such as perceived flaws) into a new and much more positive light :sparkles:

My favorite example with this is with Kintsugi ้‡‘็ถ™ใŽ- the Japanese art of fixing broken items with gold. Rather than trying to hide flaws and pretend they never happened, the brilliant gold puts them in the spotlight- hailing these differences/scars as something that makes something/someone beautiful and unique :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Thereโ€™s a great video from the BBC about Kintsugi here:

Thanks so much for bringing this up, Stephanie! :yellow_heart:
