Like everything that has lived long enough on this planet, I have cracks, wounds and scars.

Some are superficial, like wrinkles on the skin.

Others are deep and invisible. The remorses, regrets, and painful memories I carry with me.

Some have been made by other people's choices, words or actions.

Most are of my own making.

In the past, I would try everything to get rid of them as quickly as possible. All in vain, as I've learned.

Once a crack is made, it changes you forever.

So I've learned to celebrate each and every one of them.

Every crack, wound or scar is a lesson, learned or to be discovered.

They are part of my unique signature.

But most of all, they keep reminding me that I am human.

That I am messy, fragile, prone to make mistakes, imperfect.

Like every human being on this planet.

We are all wonderfully imperfect.

Isn't that perfection?
