Too many people are afraid to share their feelings, afraid to be honest. I have learned after many years of being afraid of my own feelings and honesty that the best gift I can give to others and myself is to be open and honest. I am not afraid to share my feelings. I am not afraid to be me all the time. I am sure to many this is a sign of weakness, but to me, the ultimate strength is vulnerability. Being vulnerable means you are open to being hurt, but also open to being loved. You cannot have one without the other, which is a hard thing to learn as you get older. Too many people become bitter or closed off because they once were open and had their heart broken, dreams shot down, or hopes shattered. The thing is, this serves no one. The most amazing gift you can give yourself is to stand up after feeling like all is lost, and be open to having it happen all over again. There are no winners or losers when it comes to love just two people searching for someone to understand them in the most basic of ways, and whether its romantic or friendly love is all we truly want.
