You are vulnerable when you allow yourself to project something misaligned with your core self.

As we open up and reveal our inner feelings, motivations, and life experiences, we let them, see more of our personality, the true version of self, and less of the characters that we have been playing. Our partners see us for who we truly are!

Self-exposure opens the door to profound love, connection, and fulfilment... a foundation that we all should start our relationships with in hindsight.

It’s usually when you decided to be you that you avoid playing a character for the needs of another and become who YOU truly want! Either your partner accept you or they don’t. Either way you are a winner in my eyes.

Opening yourself up for judgement can at times feel risky and scary. The same vulnerability and openness that lays the groundwork for rewarding intimacy also gives your partner the power to emotionally abuse that trust.
