Vulnerability.

I think we all need to let our guards down more often. But it's no surprise I'm saying this. I'm the girl with the heart permanently on her sleeve. I am more open than all I know. With this my heart can be broken to pieces. But I wouldn't change a thing. I let it all out there and put my ego aside. I must have no pride because I always tell it like it is, and the last thing that enters my mind is what will be the resulting situation. So far I haven't made you want to be vulnerable, and I understand. But when you want to tell someone something so desperately and you don't, I think you are quite foolish. You may see me as foolish for looking stupid and saying what is on my mind. But at least I'm trying. If we just sit around and want to say something we are just  wasting time, we aren't trying, what are we thinking? When we try we put it all out there and we've done the best we could. In the end I think that's all that matters. I want you all to be more vulnerable than you currently are. Sometimes our efforts amount to nothing more than tears. But that one time where you try and you find just what you're looking for, well the old tears were so worth it weren't they? I really wish Taylor Swift could be my best friend, and if you think that's off on a tangent you are so wrong. When we like someone but keep our mouths shut we are wasting our own time. If they like us then great we can move forward, and if they don't we can move on. It's that simple. We weren't given these lives to wonder if we should say it now or later, that's such a waste of precious time. Procrastinating has never been an admirable trait, ever. If we are fighting or arguing with a loved one, family member or friend and we wait to say how we feel, we are going against all the hope's the Lord has for us. How disappointing? When we know we could try harder and we just don't. We're lazy, pathetic, and we have no excuses if we aren't speaking now. I'm not the perfect communicator, but I do know saying what you mean will only reap positive results. No matter if your vulnerability leads to pain there is always good to come from it. So I took my own advice not too long ago. Were the results positive? I have no idea, and I don't know if I will ever gain anything from my vulnerability. But I do know I'm stronger than before, I did what was needed, I tried and if I were to die today and realized that I tried then I accomplished what the Lord wants if only in a small way. I tried, and that's all He asks in all aspects of life. So try today, tomorrow and the rest of your life. Because my brutal honesty will let you know, you have no excuses they aren't valid here.
Waterdeep- It's all right
