Vulnerability was created to help me process some deep feelings and seek clarity during a time of emotional growth. During its creation a single notion continued to run through my head on repeat - "Vulnerability is a strength and not a weakness". It is easy to harden yourself to a challenging world when you are a sensitive person and have big feelings. Sometimes you can let too much in & it can get to be a bit overwhelming, so you build a wall to protect yourself from it all.  However this piece serves as a reminder to knock that wall down. Allowing yourself to stay open & receptive is where true emotional fortitude lies. To accept love. To embrace it. And reciprocate it when called to. Never a weakness. Only a strength. Vulnerability is a super power.
