A Note on Vulnerability

I think it’s safe to say most humans struggle with being vulnerable.

Vulnerability is opening yourself up to attack or judgment when you shed the armor that protects your truth. It may look like a weakness to some or it may just make you look crazy.

Lately, I’ve realized the strength in vulnerability. It opens us up to connections that aren’t easily made at the surface level. Some might reject a vulnerable share out of fear of having to be vulnerable in return, while others appreciate the truth spoken and welcome it, reassuring you that they too are open.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you turn away from this or lean into it?
