It isn't broken. It’s just opening up.

Most would agree that there are certain things in life that you just have to break open to get to the good stuff. Things like eggs, pistachios, cocoa pods, crab legs, and coconuts (to name a few) - you really only get to the good stuff when they are broken open.

Your heart is a little bit like all of these good things in life. Life will hurt you. Someone will break your heart. And while you will want to run, fight, or resist… sometimes all you can do is sit right there in all that brokenness. That’s where and when you will get to see a part of yourself that is incredibly beautiful, alive, and delicious. It’s the part of you that’s been there all along.

Life may have a way of breaking you. But you aren’t broken. You’re just opening up.
