Vulnerable Truth

Every time I write, I welcome others to know what it is like to be in my head. Vulnerability is frightening and to most people it is terrifying, but I have lived to encourage it because I believe it is what most people find comfort in.

Vulnerability lays your truth out to others and the truth is where we find trust and security. The thing I have learned about truth is the subjectiveness that it holds. My truth falls under the umbrella of integrity, authenticity, empathy, and transparency. These welcome others to search for the comfort of these feelings from me and that gives the vulnerability of my truth a position of purpose to others.

My mother reminds me that I am “love” but it is not that I am the essence of love, it is that I am vulnerable and my love is not hidden. Vulnerability is one of my strongest traits and it is what reminds me of my value. I do not hide my love and my truth because I know how much these things support others. I may very well be love, but it is only because I let my truth be seen by the people I hold dearest, the people I will meet, and all of the passersby.
