Not everyone's cup of tea

We, humans, often tend to put ourselves under too much stress that it becomes an irreversible process to gracefully come out of it and accept the truth. We fear being judged, we fear rejection and most of the time, it’s the fear of the change that allows our morale to take a backseat. We generalize about aplenty things in life, and sometimes people too.

We become reluctant to own our vulnerabilities, and as a result, we become victims of our own minds. We get afraid of stepping out of the shadows and embrace the light zestfully waiting to hug us with its open arms. We love to live in the darkness, the darkness of the thoughts and the world we have created in our heads.

We choose not to be vulnerable because we think it’s the safest thing to do when we’re dealing with an emotional turmoil. We lock up all the disturbing emotions in a coop and put our hearts and souls into not letting them escape from any of the sides.

But imagine having someone we can share our deepest fear with and letting them into our minds to feel what we’re feeling in the moment. No matter how good a listener we are, sometimes all we need is to be listened to.

It takes every ounce of courage to open up our hearts to someone, and that’s because we all have been wounded in the past, resultantly we generalize that everyone is going to hurt us in the end and it’s just a matter of time.

Being vulnerable is not everyone’s cup of tea, for it needs strength to expose ourselves in and out to someone who understands, someone who listens out. We assume that vulnerability is a sign of weakness. No, it’s not. Being vulnerable is attractive.
