3.See beauty in all things,especially the broken and scarred
This stems from an ancient Japanese art to mend broken objects with gold fillings, giving them “golden scars.” It’s known as Kintsugi.
Think of a bowl or teapot dropped onto the floor. What would you do with it? Probably throw them away.
But Kintsugi tells you to mend the pieces of broken pottery back together with liquid gold ~making them inevitably flawed, but somehow, more beautiful~
Kintsugi reminds us that there is great beauty in broken things because scars tell a story.
They demonstrate fortitude, wisdom, and resilience, earned through the passage of time.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
