One thing I am always upfront about is my struggle with bipolar disorder. In recent years I've found myself drawn to restoration videos on YT. Be it paintings, tools, toys or whatever. Lately I've wondered why.
Restoration takes something damaged or ruined and patiently brings it back to an acceptable condition. Watching these reminds me that, however broken I feel, it can be repaired and restored. And somehow, that helps.
@lenaoflune I am now. How cool!
@Graci Are you familiar with kintsugi? Whenever I think about fixing up the cracks in ourselves and others, that art comes to my mind, along with the beauty of our history.
