When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.

Summary

This quote suggests that true understanding and connection between individuals can only occur when they are willing to reveal their vulnerabilities and share their inner selves. It highlights that superficial observations or preconceived notions of each other are limited and may prevent genuine human connection. It implies that when individuals open up and show their flaws, the depth of their character and their capacity for empathy can be revealed, allowing both the acceptance of light (positive aspects of their personality) and the release of light (empathetic understanding) to occur.
