Something needs repaired. 

 What do you use?
Band-aid?

Tape?

Super-glue?

Sauntering gun?
Sewing kit?

I guess it depends on what you're repairing.

But what if it was your heart? 

Your mind? 

Your attitude?

Most people look for a quick-fix.

A band-aid or tape will hold things together until they heal, but taking them off is a nightmare. 

Superglue hardens. 

Sauntering is messy and, chances are, you'll get burned.

But a sewing kit is probably the best choice. 

Though it takes longer and it is probably painful, think of what you'll save yourself in the future. 

I've decided that I'm tired of quick-fixes. 

I'm tired of having to soften my heart from the painful experiences throughout my life.

I want my heart to be a patchwork quilt.

Starting now.

Let the painful emotions begin!
