I Am Not As Strong As You Think I Am
Someone who cannot reveal themselves, cannot love. And someone who cannot love is the most unhappy person of all.
One of the most beautiful qualities of a true relationship is to understand and to be understood. Owning our story can be hard, but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but nearly as dangerous as giving up on love, belonging, joy, and the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness, will we discover the infinite power of our light. I cannot get courage without walking through vulnerability. It's the birthplace of everything we are hungry for; love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, accountability, and authenticity.
