I know a few people that aren’t vulnerable

and they are miserable

they feel safe and protected

but they can’t figure out why they’re unhappy

–

if you are going to participate in this world

you are going to be abused…until you stop it

lied to from friends and family

and have your heart broken

amazes me when people are surprised

—

we are dealing with imperfect people who are dealing with other imperfect people

things are going to happen

now if they keep happening that’s on you

and don’t ask to be abused…. We often invite it

in the name of “love” but that’s not love

–

so you have a choice

sit on the bleachers and cheer for others in the game

and develop resentment against them because they have the courage to try

or do your best and wear a few extra layers of resolve

when you offer your hand…. It will get smacked
but you will never hold another if you don’t offer

–

one of those damned if you do…… but miserable if you don’t

Vulnerable…… part of a good life
