Vulnerability....weakness or strength?
Be yourself or be someone else.
Feeling vulnerable when we show ourselves to the world of our purest emotions, real characters, unique personalities, and simply being ourselves doesn't always feel good. It doesn't feel good on most occasions. Loving it when the IG likes play your favorite notification sound. Hating it when the phone isn't silent but the notifications are. We are comfortable with company around until we see our faces and flesh in the mirror. It feels great when we are loved by everyone and as soon as we are without company, a feeling of emptiness emerges.
Before receiving acceptance from others, there is the first stage of self-acceptance. Accepting your so-called flaws, abnormal physicality, or unpopular traits is HARD, but all it takes is to take the FIRST STEP. It may take a few days, a couple of weeks, or years, but it may take less than a second when deciding to not give a ____ and just to love yourself.
Why do we shy away from our deepest emotions and thoughts? Why do we have to force ourselves to become individuals that aren't us...
