And dont get me wrong, Im still scared.
But sometimes you have to take a risk and be open to the possibility of failure.
Your heart is never handed back to you the same way it was given.
Oliver Sjöström
It bleeds and pumps a little differently.
Getting hurt absolutely sucks, yes, but whats the alternative?
Stay isolated and alone forever?
Never be with anyone ever again and have your cold heart completely ice over?
For the sake of comfort?
As hard as it may be to practice, vulnerability is necessary.
Because sometimes you have to let down your guard and say, okay, Ill give this a chance.
I was never this way until recently when someone I love pointed out that I was afraid to love.
If I want intimacy and romance so badly, then why am I so guarded from it?
What do you do once you get it?
What do we have to do to keep it?
When does the pain come?
When do you get hurt?
I cant think like this.
And you cant either.
Its time for us to be open.
Say how we feel without fear of judgment and without worrying about the response.
Ask for what you want.
Vulnerability is scary, but it is worth it.
I dare you to be vulnerable today in one way or another.
Communicating your deepest needs and desires.
Open up your heart and do whatfeelsright without attachment to the outcome.
I wish you the strength, courage, and heart required to practice vulnerability.
It is not easy, but it is worth it.
Go find out for yourself.
