Vulnerability is, to me, our "soft spots," the places where we are beautifully fragile and human. True we may feel pain at times in our vulnerability, but this is also a space where there is the potential for deep love and joy. I think our vulnerability ties us together as human beings. In relationships, allowing this helps us to make deep and enduring intimate connections with another person. It means we have to trust and let go of our fears and that can feel risky. I do think it's wise to reveal this only to those we do trust, but taking that risk with (who we feel is) the right person can lead to much joy. My personal thoughts.
