Courage is Found in Vulnerability

You made me move on from something I never thought I could. To forget my past and be present is something you helped me do and I will always be grateful for that. For allowing me to open up and accept the vulnerability that came with that. Because as scary as it is, it’s also exciting and intense. In an act of surrender I slowly started to show who I am and who I was and what happened in between. To think that I used to have this incredibly hard exterior and such a fragile interior that I never allowed anyone to witness, and that I will gladly let you see all of me terrifies me, yet I continue to let myself fall and see where this is heading.

I always thought strength lied in someone’s ability to keep a strong face and never break down or let people see their emotions. I realized that it takes more courage to be vulnerable and show your scars to the world than to hide and keep your mask on.

This is what I’ve learned and although it is incredibly hard for me to uncover myself, you made it more bearable and made me find some sort of comfort in doing this.

Turns out allowing yourself to feel and let go of the past is incredibly rewarding. If you do not let go of the past and immerse yourself in the present and allow yourself to be vulnerable, you can miss out on what life has to offer.
