Vulnerability

Being honest and vulnerable is so challenging as in part, it's not something that everyone is able to receive. The person sharing their story likely already has their own fears about sharing their inner fears and struggles. And then, to have individuals who are not able to support people going through the realities of life can make someone feel isolated and even question their own feelings when it's not the individual, it's the lack of support for that individual. It's easier for people to see all the wonderful showreel of one's life instead of actually sitting with people and honouring their struggles and their truth.

If you are someone who is challenged to be honest and vulnerable, know that it takes a lot of courage to be true to yourself. Even if others aren't able to receive what you are saying, do your best not to take it personally. It's not you. The truth is that society has taught us to give attention to the superficial things and forget that we are humans going through real human experiences.
