A memorable time when I broke something was two years ago. It was my mother's vase, which was given to her by my father as an anniversary present. That's why this vase has sentimental value for our family. On that occasion, I was quite late for university, so I was in a hurry. I tried to find my keys, running from one side of the house to the other. The vase was sitting in the corner of the house on an antique table. During my running, I accidentally touched the vase with my bag, and I heard something crash. At first, I didn't realize what had happened, but then I felt very guilty and sad about it. I tried to repair the vase and started searching for ways to fix it. I found a method called Kintsugi, which is a Japanese technique, and I repaired it using that method.
