What makes you feel like offing yourself tonight

Not thinking - clearly I need to do more of it. That IS the problem at night, some nights at least. Must work on learning to meditate.

Kintsugi is a beautiful concept. Thank you, foot3 - I've never run across it.

To my mind, it evokes images of C-section scars, laugh lines and worry lines, the dent on the ring finger of my left hand... Marks visible on the surface that tell a story. That I carry those marks, or see them carried by others indicates survival to me. Lots of things, people especially, are more valuable / important / interesting with experience.

Some would dismiss or discard an object or a person who shows such signs. I'm not one of them, I value such experience.
