Seeing through the cracks.

Each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And then 'life' happens - people leave us, or don’t love us, or don’t get us, or we don’t get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And we start to crack in places. And once our once watertight vessel cracks open, the end becomes inevitable. But there is always more time than you think between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And its only when we crack that we get the gift of truly seeing one another. When we can see out of ourselves through our own cracks and into others through theirs, that is when we truly see each other.
Until then we are just looking at ideas of each other, projecting ourselves onto closed curtains, but never seeing inside. Once the vessel cracks, light can get in and your light can shine out. (inspired by John Green "Paper Towns")
