“...allowing yourself to be vulnerable makes you weak but also opens you to the nuances of beauty...”

“Opening yourself up to making mistakes and being vulnerable is what makes it beautiful and special with the person you love.”

“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.”

“Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open.”
