I feel we are constantly told to act strong, be this, and do that. So many people I know put on a front, a show, look at how "not bothered" I am. The sentence "I don't care" has become the defending retort of the masses - well I do care!
Does that mean I'm weak?
No
It means I am stronger because I'm not afraid...
I think vulnerability has been lost in this fast moving world, people don't allow themselves to feel things anymore. They brush off their emotions and plough on a head, constantly chasing the future. Numbing themselves to what is happening right now. Ignoring what makes them, them. Squandering their soul.
It is fear; fear of being vulnerable and letting the world see you. The real you, no gimmicks, no persona, it's a cage. Trapped.
Who wants to feel naked? Screaming from the top of your lungs, like the day you entered this world?
I do
There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by something or someone. You cannot truly experience life if you are untouchable.
I want you to end the show, step off the stage, and walk out the theatre doors. It is a world where you can be free.
You will get hurt yes, you will feel lost and helpless at points, but you will truly be yourself and that is worth every ounce of pain felt. I promise you that.
You will get hurt yes, you will feel lost and helpless at points, but you will truly be yourself and that is worth every ounce of pain felt. I promise you that.
Embrace it
Be Vulnerable...
