To me being vulnerable is like being thrown onto a stage, with a spotlight, naked and exposed to a room full of strangers. It’s uncomfortable and embarrassing so we scramble to cover up the parts of us we don’t like and most certainly don’t want others to see. We do this in our own lives, when it comes to what we share with others. We pick and choose the best parts of us or limit the visibility of what others can see because of FEAR. We take that vulnerability and stuff it in the darkest, cobb webbed filled closet corner out of fear. Fear of letting others down; fear of not being able to measure up; Fear of being hurt; Fear of not being lovable; fear of the judgment others can inflict upon us when we are naked and exposed to them. We want the world to only see the BEST parts of us because it feels safe, comfortable, and lovable to only let people see the parts we want them to. I want you to think about that though. If others only see the best parts of us, do they really SEE us? Can they really LOVE us? Do we really SEE us when we hide the not so perfect parts of us? How can we live a happy life if we hide real parts of ourselves? How can we really LOVE people when we don’t see ALL of them? -From yours truly. If you like that there is more where that came from...you just nee to read my post: 5 Reasons Journaling Promotes Healing from my point of view. Will you become a journal junkie too? xoxo
