Quote by Glennon Doyle Melton

You can be shattered, and then you can put yourself back together piece by piece. But what can happen over time is this: You wake up one day and realize that you have put yourself back together completely differently. That you are whole, finally, and strong - but you are now a different shape, a different size.

Summary

This quote highlights the transformative nature of overcoming hardships. It conveys that after experiencing deep despair and working diligently to rebuild oneself, one may ultimately emerge as a stronger and whole individual. However, the process of healing and self-reconstruction changes a person's perspective and identity. The analogy of putting oneself back together implies that the healing process leads to growth and transformation, resulting in a newfound sense of strength and resilience, but also a fundamental change in one's shape and size metaphorically.

One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
