"Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway." - Mother Teresa
To become vulnerable means to show yourself to others completely and utterly without holding back for fear of rejection or judgment. It means saying "Here I am, flesh and bones. Here are my strengths. Here are my weaknesses. This is what frightens me. This is what makes me happy. Here is where I stand. Take it or leave it."
We often build walls around the deep dark secrets in our hearts. Those spaces that are filled with shame, inadequacy, and fear. There's beauty in the cracks of our being - the imperfections that make each of us unique with complexities many of us try but never succeed in understanding. Bask in this beauty.
There's magic in not knowing what happens next. Just when you think you've figured it out, everything you've ever know crumbles before your eyes. I know you've been there. I have. We all have.
To become vulnerable means to let go of expectations and embrace the unknown. Full on. With all the beautiful cracks and dimly lit spaces of your heart. With every moment that takes you closer to the unexpected.
It's hard to be vulnerable. It frightens me. But I know the rewards are worth it.
Just for today shine some light on the darkness you hold inside.
Just for today let go of everything you've ever known and just be.
Just for today tell someone you love them without knowing if they'll say it back.

There's beauty in the breakdown
