My Vulnerable Self

I'm a strong, independent girl - I don't need a man to support me financially, I don't have any psychological or insecurities issues that a man can fix, I don't need rescuing from myself. So yes, I do think that I am pretty much self sufficient.

So to let myself become vulnerable - finally exposing my feeling, letting my guard down - it was totally scary, but at the same time it was totally worth it.

At least for the fact that I don't keep on questioning, or worst, keep on hoping.

I managed my fear. And I'm so proud of that.

My strength comes from my vulnerability. I shed my defensive layer, I basically turned off the defense mechanism I've built, I let everything out. And that's okay. Because that reminds me that I am only human, I'm real - I feel, I cry, I love, I need.

Yes, I've exposed my vulnerable self. Time's up. Now back to the other selves that have been functioning to protect my vulnerable self.
