"The cracks on a glass will only disappear once it is completely broken. But then, you may not be able to put it back together again and even if you did it will never look the same again."
Sometimes that's how I feel when my trust is being tested. I feel like I'd rather break free and not trust at all than feel this distrust or cracks in my relationships, and that encompasses all kinds of relationships. But ofcourse, I try to be more open-minded and work things out especially if the relationship really means a lot to me. Most of us would even intentionally overlook the "cracks" just to keep the relationship going. Although, that is easy when the cracks are so fine that they are beyond notice at times. But what if the cracks are so obvious? What if they are a lingering reminder of the betrayal and the hurt and the pain it caused us? I believe that there are those that are so badly broken, they are beyond repair. But I also believe, that no matter how big or small those cracks are, some can be fixed, if only both parties would really put their sincere efforts in it. The cracks may never disappear, it will never be the same again, but these cracks can add to the beauty of the new (or renewed) relationship that comes out of from being broken and will always serve as a reminder of how precious and fragile this relationship is.
As I mentioned before in a previous post, "Imperfect but whole, adorned with the cracks and chips courtesy of our experiences and the lessons of life... but better, wiser and stronger than before." (Imperfectly Whole)
