I chose the vulnerability card yesterday from DrSnit, and I was trying to think of what it means to me to be vulnerable. And this is what I came up with.I'm vulnerable every time I put my heart on the line and let someone in my life. When I open my heart to love another and be loved in return.
Instead of closing myself off from the hurt and pain of losing someone I love, I choose to continue to love every day. I'm not gonna run from love, I'm gonna embrace it. I choose to let it grow inside of me. Letting it consume every part of me.
Shutting myself off from the world would be so easy to do after losing someone I love, and after being mistreated by people I love. But I refuse to do that. That's not a way to live life. Closed off from people so I won't feel the pain of being rejected. So I won't feel the horrible pain of losing a loved one again.
I choose love. 'Cause at the end of the day, that's all anyone really wants. To know that they are loved. That someone somewhere loves them.
I'm vulnerable by loving.
