On Vulnerability…
The thing about friendship – you really leave yourself defenceless. And it’s hard when you find yourself in such a position – especially when you’ve placed yourself there deliberately! It’s much easier to barricade yourself behind the armour of a dry-tongued, carefree attitude. But once you let your guard down and let someone in! Boy, that’s when you find yourself quivering in the harsh cold! One word can make all the difference between delight and despair. And I find myself wondering – is it worth it? The lack of protection, the unguarded heart, the sleepless nights and the question-filled days. Yet, all that is offset by the single word that can truly lift you up to the skies – maybe it’s worth it after all!
