this was sosoooooo beautifully written!!!! "Because being vulnerable allows me to enjoy the true fullness of the very experiences which are riddled with uncertainty: love, community, creativity, etc” I loved this so so much! It reminded me that although I don't have many very close relationships but those that I do have are so deeply fulfilling & I am eternally grateful for that!!
I often feel like I talk way too much & in any given situation I can and will sit there and bare my soul for the other person to judge. And often I immediately regret speaking so much I feel like a burden to others almost every time I leave a meeting with friends because all I can think about is how much I monopolized the conversations. But In reading this I realized that my vulnerability isn't something to view as a burden I'm placing on others at all. It is something that Im using to deepen my connection with someone I truly care about & I have to trust that they are feeling the same thing.
As always this was amazing to read & reflect on! & thank you for being so vulnerable (hehe) and talking about your mental health & relationships!
Thank you for sharing!
I am so proud of you Rae! This piece although self reflective for you was also eye opening and soothing to me.
