“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift”
This quote by Mary Oliver is one of my favorites. Life would be so incomplete without the darkness of a broken heart. A broken heart can sometimes give you just the right inspiration you need to change your life upside down. Taking chances in love, even when you are a little broken can help you make yourself whole again. It is the best gift that you can give yourself.

There is only one way to be happy and that is to love your life. You need to find peace and be comfortable in your skin, no matter how broken you are. Sometimes, you might feel as if you are a lost piece of a puzzle and that you don’t belong anywhere. But that’s the beauty of life. You don’t have to be a piece of a puzzle. You don’t need to believe that you are a part of something bigger than yourself to feel significant. You are not lost. You are complete the way you are and it doesn’t matter how broken you might feel at times, because a leap of faith is always worth it.
