Learning from my faults,

I evolve, I move forward,

Unlocking prospects!

Breaking free of servitude,

It's me against the world now!

DAY 28 prompt is – MENDING THE BROKEN PLACES.

Each one of us has a breaking point. Pushed beyond that, something gives way. But we remain whole on the outside. Bones mend, skin regrows but what about the broken heart, crushed dreams or vanquished faith? How do we heal ourselves? Do we rely on others, outside factors to mend those broken places? Or do we tap into our inner reserve for strength to mend ourselves? Do we ever heal completely?
What helps you pull out of these dark times? Is it your faith/religion, is it the support of friends and family or do you turn to music to soothe and provide solace.

  4. These are important questions, Richa. I rely on a variety of things, especially my deep faith that the right thing will happen, in recovering from even the hardest of setbacks.

  6. I saw the picture and realized this was about a broken life in many ways. This poor soul has broken down now we must help her rebuild into a wonderful lady.
