Vulnerable

It’s totally acceptable to let our guard down and be vulnerable. Life is not a bed of roses.  It never has been. 

We must learn to lean on those that provide comfort without judgement and without meaningless platitudes. Sometimes all one needs is a patient ear, and a touch of empathy.  

We don’t have to give all the time — we can also receive and embrace the kindness and compassion of others.  Our vulnerability makes us human. I have a deep sense of gratitude to all those that have reached out during these trying times.
