Maybe we can define our best of friends as those in which you are able to be most vulnerable with.
Because how often do we fail to express how we really feel? How often do we choose to hold back what’s at the tips of our hearts? How often do we hide behind the walls of vulnerability? To be scared that you will be judged, scared of your own potential, scared of the outcomes.
I truly think that in today’s world, to show vulnerability is not to show weakness but instead to show how strong you really are.
There are those of you who find it easy to open up to people, to tell your story. Then there are those who prefer to keep their stories close by their side. I don’t think this is always a measure of somebody’s vulnerability though rather more a measure of their personality and traits. Not everyone can open up to strangers, for example. At the end of the day we need to feel secure to open up to someone. So imagine how others perceive you, do they see you as someone who they can open up to?
