It's been a minute since there has been a post like this. There's an irony to the vulnerability I'm going to talk about. It's because it's about allowing yourself to be a bit vulnerable.
That sometimes, allowing someone into your life is the most vulnerable you'll ever be. It's not easy for most to let people in on the things that truly weigh on your mind. And let me just say that there is just cause. To be honest, I don't think I've let anyone into the world within my brain in a while.
It's all too easy to tell someone about your deepest dreams and desires, but people don't always know how to handle it. From then on, they can do with it as they wish, and you can only hope that they're gentle. That's the irony of feeling comfortable with someone, it's leaving yourself completely vulnerable. It's trusting this person with everything and knowing you'll be alright.
Maybe this isn't making sense, but it's weird that comfort can go hand in hand with vulnerability.

you win some then lose some, then holler... you get some!
you know what's funny. i'm bored, i failed all my finals, and i'm not done! and i'm feeling all sorts of lonely.
in regards to vulnerability, i have just recently discovered that it's a tricky bitch. see, i've never had to trust someone completely, because i've always seen it as a let-yourself-get-crushed kind of situation and i am not the type of person who puts herself out there. so definitely the times have been asking a lot of me.
your title should be "thoughts: vulnerability is a tricky bitch." so obviously i'm doing good with giving myself away. but it just takes some getting used to i guess.
