I agree with this, saying he just needs to find himself is like when people tell someone with depression that it's all in their head.Sarah Nichols 7 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 15:24 While it is a sweet idea that Humpty doesn't need to be "fixed" it's also not practical. If Humpty wasn't put back together, he'd still be scattered in pieces unable to move or do anything. I think we often find ourselves when we are broken. Putting ourselves back together is part of that discovery process.

It was necessary for me to be broken. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be thriving today. I thought I was doing "ok" before, but hadn't realized it was only on a surface level. I had cracks all over that I failed to notice. It I hadn't gotten to the breaking point, I would've continued through life with all these cracks that were preventing me from being completely together. I may have stitches now, but stitches are better than cracks. I have scars, but I'm put together and loving life now.
