If I could summarize what I’ve been learning lately in one word, it’d be this: Vulnerability.

Now if you’ve known me for a while, you might assume that I don’t struggle with being vulnerable. I’m open, honest, and transparent about my story and my struggles - and yet I’ve been really struggling to be vulnerable lately. Why’s that? I’m talking about emotional vulnerability. That’s different than factual openness. It’s a lot harder too. Because to be emotionally vulnerable, first you have to be emotionally aware.
