Beautifully Broken

Written By Rochelle Lee

If anyone had told me when I was a child that I would find any beauty in being broken I would have cried and get devastated.
What I have learnt through each stage of my life and I now can appreciate it, I DO see being “broken” as a blessing or a catalyst for change.
Each “broken” moment forces us(whether we like it or not), to shift-to show us what we need to learn. Is it easy? NO! Is it messy? Hellll YES! But is it worth it to invest in yourself and take apart those broken pieces and figure out who you really are? You bet! You are worth it and you ARE enough!
In light of my recent circumstances, I have once again found myself reflecting on the “why” the meaning behind tough things. Let me assure you I don’t have the answers but I do have some wisdom. Not to sound cliche but everything happens for a reason…it really is true. It forces us to look at ourselves(which is not easy I know!! And if anyone tells you it is, well then they are BS’ing you)
This past week, what I thought would be my forever job-an opportunity to help others-fizzled away. It has been painful, raw, embarrassing but also very humbling and empowering. I choose to take this brokenness I feel and make it count for something. Why? Because I AM enough, I AM worthy, and I AM meant to be exactly where I am.
To all those people in my life who have called me, emailed me, messaged me and above all, held space for me while I sat in my brokenness-THANK YOU-because it helped remind me that there is beauty in the world, in the human condition and there IS the ability to be Beautifully Broken-and I am at peace with that ❤️
