We start this episode of Outer Travel, Inner Journey with the story of how Ulli and I met, and why being in our most vulnerable state was a conducive foundation for our relationship.

 

The safety that we felt with each other amidst being in the middle of a sensitive and vulnerable predicament brought forth a loving support from each other with little to no judgement. While being in the mess, openness to each other brought beauty. And letting go of our guard and strength and being raw with your struggles to your partner is courageous.

• We can only talk about honesty when we know that our vulnerability is safe with the other person. And I think a lot of the times when we are in relationships where we feel hurt and we're still in love, we are vulnerable and we are being touched in those wounds and those places that are tiny/micro traumatic to us and we feel like we are the wrong people. But all there is to it is we can't feel safe - Alexandra Kreis
• Sometimes I'm weak, sometimes I'm vulnerable. And it's so beautiful to show it. And what I realized as soon as I show my vulnerabilities and my fears, they vanish. They go up into thin air. After I show my weak spots, they are immediately replaced by strong spots. - Ulli Helmstetter
