Sometimes just being brave when you don’t want to be is vulnerability.

“

Talking to your partner about your feelings is scary because it feels like there are no take backs. Once you say what you’re feeling, it’s out. (Remember: this is a good thing, even if it feels terrifying.)

“

“Some people think that being vulnerable is being weak.

“

I believe that the willingness to be vulnerable is perhaps one of the most powerful choices anyone can make.

“

Vulnerability exposes us to the unfamiliar and confusing. We’re confronted with our own truths.

“

Can the world handle you with your red heart beating open?

“

Anyone who loves you will open arms to you, not think you’re a burden.

“

Only when be really get vulnerable do we find that we’re not alone, that others are struggling, too.

“

Remember the ones who didn’t leave you behind, who followed you even when you were headed the wrong way, who fought through battles with you. Remember the ones who stayed and never left.

It’s better to find out whether he’s interested now than to waste time wondering whether he feels the same way.
