There is Life After Survival Eco Tote Bag | Mackenzi Lee

“In the east,” she says after a time, her gaze still downcast, “there is a tradition known as kintsukuroi. It is the practice of mending broken ceramic pottery using lacquer dusted with gold and silver and other precious metals. It is meant to symbolize that things can be more beautiful for having been broken.”

“Why are you telling me this?” I ask.

At last she looks up at me. Her irises are polished obsidian in the moonlight. “Because I want you to know,” she says, “that there is life after survival.”

It’s always darkest before the dawn. This design is the perfect reminder for anyone who’s been going through a time. Mend, lacquer, and dust on the precious metals. There is life after survival.
