We have learned that in order to be vulnerable we have to confess our deepest sorrows to the people around us. This is a way of being vulnerable and receiving and giving compassion. However, I invite you to look at vulnerability differently. You can be vulnerable by telling people the things that make you excited, the things you love, by saying "I love you" when saying bye to your loved ones You could be vulnerable by telling people the things that hurt you, and allowing them to tell you the things that hurt them, and simply give them the space and listen. You could be vulnerable by being your authentic self and allowing others to in turn be themselves around you. Vulnerability is love and it is compassion and we all deserve to be vulnerable and allow others to be vulnerable around us.
