Being Vulnerable

The vulnerability is a scary feeling. The fear of rejection prevents many things from the beginning.  We unknowingly stop things from happening before it even takes off.

Putting yourself out there isn’t easy for most people. We don’t want to let our guard down too fast, no one wants to be hurt. And for many of us, we have been hurt in the past that we don’t want our wounds to open back up again.

We fear the person’s reaction when we break down our walls and finally let that person into our lives.

And we don’t want them walking away or judging us for our past. We want to be accepted and loved but the fear of not knowing what vulnerability will bring out in us. And the other person is what stops us from moving forward.

 

But through struggles and vulnerability comes growth. The thing of it is vulnerability is beautiful and raw.

It allows people to see your heart. And it tells a story of your life and the person you are today.

Because it’s not weak to want to let someone in by expressing your emotions. But it’s not done often.

Vulnerability is healthy; it’s the road to healing wounds from your past that you may not fully be over.

Allow yourself to let that one person into your life. Be raw and don’t be fearful. Live without the regrets of what could have been and allow yourself to have a chance at love.
