i think the KEY word in vulnerablity is "OPEN". we have to allow ourselves a certain amount of vulnerablity in order to be "OPEN" to life and relationships.
a big part of my growth has been once again allowing myself to be vulnerable, no matter how much i want to protect against it because it has also allowed me to start feeling again and it has allowed me to get in touch with who i am. it has also allowed me to start taking risks again.
