I´ll never be content with the surface of things. So often we hold ourselves from going deep because we are scared it may be more than we can handle or worry what people might think. But we will grow so much more from it. Exposing our hearts is not weakness. It´s bravery. It´s authenticity. It´s love.
I know it can be scary some times. We all have felt that. I know i´d been criticized after sharing my personal writings several times. And i know maybe i expose too much my heart. But i believe that when we share our stories of vulnerability, we send hope to the world. The surface may be a comfortable place, but connection is formed in the depths.
When you guys reach out to me and share your stories of sorrow, my heart aches. I wish i could hug you and i feel so frustrated when i can´t. So the one thing i can do is to give you my words. It surely doesn´t feel like enough. I wish i could take away your pain and solve it all. But my words are part of who i am, so i offer them to you with all of my heart. I want to use them for the rest of my life to let you know you are NOT alone. We are all in this messy life together.
You are my people. I see you. I believe in you. So tell me anything. Tell me everything. I am not in this world to make small talk. Talk real to me. I am here for you. I want to be a reminder that it is okay to share what you are feeling inside. Your voice is needed and it matters. A lot.
Yes, yes, yes!!! I just posted a little about this today (https://13ahamoments.com/2017/02/09/happiness/) and you have inspired me to post something. Probably tomorrow.
Being vulnerable is brave! It is the only way to be your authentic self. One of the keys to happiness and confidence.
Your words are one of your gifts of the spirit! You have them and the skills for a reason. Do not question that. You have empathy and compassion for a reason! On the same token, do not forget to protect yourself and love yourself at the same time. I say this because I think we are similar.
Thank you for sharing! You and your stories are worthy.

I LOVE THIS! Thank you so much. Your first paragraph hit me like a ton of bricks–having just started on a new adventure–and I am feeling pretty wobbly on my feet. Part of me says, “Stay the course!” but the bigger part wants to walk away BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD! I’ve been shaking in my boots the past two weeks but in my heart I sense this is where I need to be. “You are my people.” I love that, too. I’ll come back to read your powerful words…<3

Oh, this is so beautiful. And you’re so true, we really do need to go beneath the surface to expose our vulnerable side. When I started writing it was mainly travel (and it still is) but when my mum got sick a whole new world of words came out of me and my blog became my solace. It was then I found out what a beautiful and connected community we belong to. Thank you for a wonderful post written from the heart.
