This topic has always been one that’s been near to my heart.

vul·ner·a·bil·i·ty “The quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.” That’s one word that society has tried to make us fearful of, but we all know that holding things in and letting them build inside of us does damage to us mentally and emotionally. AsContinue reading “Vulnerability”
