When You're Vulnerable Around The Person You Trust Or Love, I Hope You Aren't Embarrassed About It After

When you're vulnerable around the person you trust or love, I hope you aren't embarrassed about it after the fact. I hope you aren't embarrassed about the way you were vulnerable.

When my friends come to me in a vulnerable moment, I know I don't think about the way they look when they cry, or if their breathing is erratic, or how they say what they are saying. I think about the trust that goes into them exposing their heart like that. I think about the love that went into our friendship. Those superficial thoughts won't cross my mind because that isn't what matters. They are what matters. And that's what I mean. It's never embarrassing to look back on those moments because there was nothing but love under that pain.

The culture we live in shames us for being vulnerable. But we cannot be a stoic person all the time. Eventually, we will be vulnerable, and I hope you don't feel shame for that. Your loved ones won't love you less because you're a human person with human feelings. They love you because you're a human person with human feelings.
