It’s easy for me to be vulnerable. In my writing, I share habits ways that I’m unkind to myself and the ways I’m learning to be nicer to myself. I know that the results of my brave vulnerability help me and other people. This is what keeps me on the vulnerable path: Remembering that the benefits outweigh the fears of external judgment.

This beautiful quote captures another side to vulnerability that I had not considered:

“The hard part of vulnerability is the desire to control and predict the end result.” – Michelle Varghoose

Jenny, I'm not surprised to hear this at all. I always love how open you are in your writing and in our conversations. I find your pieces so relatable for this exact reason. I think you are exactly right, the more we are able to open up and share a piece of ourselves, the more others can relate to our experiences and often take something away.

Thank you for the comment, I'm so happy it resonated!
