So can we say that vulnerability is a tool to challenging or doing away with fear?? I am sure i am pushing it. haha!!<BR/><BR/>P.S. The first comment by torrance: "that is insecurity if u asked me" is the very thing that hinders our growth and capacity to love.RPoetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082399497674613513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-55332908303358764212008-06-24T14:19:00.000-04:002008-06-24T14:19:00.000-04:00I met this guy once.

And our eyes met and I swear it was one of those 'I feel like I can see forever in your eyes' type of poetry over the chords of life moments. And... I've never in 5 years spent a moment of time with him. (Sad Face) He lives in a different state and my mental state is not ready for him. He told me a couple of months ago... 'I just don't understand why you don't want to let yourself be happy.' Me neither buddy. This blog touches on that feeling of being afraid of truth perfectly. The truth of love, the truth of life, the truth of what happens next, the truth of the if then theory. youknowwhutimean????<BR/><BR/>Model Minority... I love your words.

I try my best to not be vulnerable in particular spaces (i.e. work, school, social spaces.) I think the question you raise about how our experiences shape or hinder our ability to be vulnerable is important. Vulnerability is not weakness. I am try to remember that as I navigate life and build healthy, loving relationships.RPoetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082399497674613513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-57638070073610777232008-06-23T20:24:00.000-04:002008-06-23T20:24:00.000-04:00Yoooo...You came from Ebrock's?

Thank you.<BR/><BR/>I feel as if he has a stick and is opening my wounds one by one to see how they're doing. <BR/>======<BR/>Yo. Pure poetry. Sounds like an Amy or Lauryn song.<BR/><BR/>They do that. Just to check and see if they can get a rise out of you.

I'm intimidated but am not afraid to join you.<BR/><BR/>2) The last time I was vulnerable was two days ago because I realized that after many scars that a past lover has given me I still care for him and I do not understand why. I handled it by telling him that I need to distance myself from him because being near him brings back memories I wish to be stored and forgotten. I feel as if he has a stick and is opening my wounds one by one to see how they're doing. I do not regret feeling this way about him I just don't understand it. And I am not proud because I do know I need to forgive him in order to move on, not in the sense of "I want him back" or "I'm not over him" but in the sense of, that will provide growth for me. And that's what matters to me the most. To never stop learning and growing instead of turning bitter and becoming a close friend to hatred.<BR/><BR/>3) just felt like adding a three because 2 wasn't enough.Soulful Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487124485845491605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-14836176182360485172008-06-20T00:21:00.000-04:002008-06-20T00:21:00.000-04:00that is insecurity if u asked methat is insecurity if u asked meAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.com
