Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

Below is the original photo used to create this image. It’s a glass sun-catcher that hangs in my office window. Taken on a bright morning with no special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
