Ramblings on life and death #1

I think my title sounds too depressing and/ or dramatic but ya know. I wanna talk a bit about some things that have been on my mind recently. My thoughts are a scattered mess so this is most likely a very out of place post that you have no need to read. 

Vulnerable (Vuhl - ner - uh - buh - l)
Capable of susceptible to being wounded or hurt, as by a weapon 
opposite - strong

From this definition, vulnerability seems like the worst thing in the world, but why isn't it okay to be vulnerable? Isn't showing that you are somewhat vulnerable, meaning you are only half?  Because to do that you need to be brave, strong. Is showing it not showing you have feelings and you're not just rock or ice? Why are we so afraid (me included) to show how we feel? 

I think that when you show how you feel, obviously not always, then you show you are human. I'm not a robot, someone with feelings. It's hard to open up, I know, trust me. I wasn't vulnerable, I still don't consider myself someone vulnerable but sometimes we all need to have love and support. 

I'm not defenceless and I'm not numb. I've never experienced numbness but I would rather feel pain than feel empty. When you're sad you have feelings. 

I'm not telling you to be weak or exposed but to open up a bit more to the people who care about you. 

Smile,

  1. I so agree! You have to show your feelings sometimes so that people know what you are feeling. I read something somewhere that said like how if you put your hand in the fire but can't feel anything you won't know to pull away so you will get burned. Same thing with emotions. Sometimes you have to feel so that you won't get burned emotionally. Lovely post!
