I like the “it’s okay to be visibly mended” aesthetic, but yeah, not impressed about the gold part. I’m not sure about the sidewalk either – gold isn’t something that’s meant to be walked on. Too soft. I wonder what she mixed it with.
The part about a mended broken thing being more interesting than a never-broken thing – that’s highly cool. It reminds me of that Michael Ondaatje line about how people with no scars haven’t had a life.
