Most people are afraid to be vulnerable. Its understandable.
I am always afraid.
To put yourself out there means that if it comes crashing down in the end- you will actually feel it.
But thats what's beautiful.
That you'll feel. That you'll know.
That you can hold onto that and essentially have something that is (absolutely) tangible to reflect on. To learn from. To grow from.
What is the point in only revealing a portion of your heart.
A portion of your soul.
If it begins to leak- just let it pour.
These defense mechanisms do not protect you. In the long run, they'll ruin you even more than actually feeling the pain and hurting for that moment in time.
To be vulnerable, to open up- is not to ask for pain. It is not to be weak.
It is to give a gift.
Not all are deserving.
I am not- but I still want to know your soul...
because its beautiful.
To feel is to live. To feel pain is a part of knowing you're alive.
Anyone can smile. Anyone can laugh.
But to be strong enough to let the depths of you burn....to let yourself go like that..to eventually heal- thats when you know you're alive and living....
because you have healed.
Twisted, I'm sure.
