Vulnerabili-tea. Wanna sip?
Vulnerabili-tea? HA! Ain’t nobody wanna drink that shit.
Ahh vulnerabili-tea.
The concentrated tea that no one wants to indulge in (but somehow still wish that they could)
Complex, ain’t it?
The tea that’s piping hot upon appearance but can be the smoothest drink going down your throat when you “drink it” with the right person.
Complex, ain’t it?
Maybe not…
I asked a few folks what vulnerability meant to them. There were of course different answers but….. some how I feel like they all tied into one.
Ranging from…
“… a sweet spot between freedom and scary. You’re unapologetic, yet picky who you’re giving it to…”
TO
“Someone being committed to what you’re committed to and vice versa; that way you’re engaged with them on a spirit- level, that allows you to then produce vulnerability…”
AND EVEN
“ …a weak point, easy access to being hurt, exposure of a weak point. First thing I think about when I hear vulnerability is being easily hurt…”
All of these answers were certainly felt. Though all these answers came from different spaces, I feel like they all desired one thing for sure- security.
As for me- vulnerability means being naked, in EVERY way possible. Mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. It’s that space where nothing is hidden, everything is honest (including the fact that you’re afraid to open up). It’s that space where you feel like….. peeled fruit.
Skin off, exposing your fleshy, sweet, soft centers.
Mmm. Vulnerability…. Ever ran from it?
Yeah?
Cool. Me too. ( Now let’s high five and do better)
Ever thought to yourself that maybe we close ourselves off in hopes that maybe someone comes along with love to open us up?
Which then leads to the million dollar (maybe 3 million) question.
When can we be vulnerable?
Ready for this? Drumroll please!
When they show and prove.
Though it can be scary, vulnerability is a beautiful thing. Picture hurting about something for a period of time then BOOM! - you’re finally able to release. You’re able to confide in someone- without judgement. They see you with pure eyes. They hear you, they feel you, they understand all of you.
Whew, such freedom.
See, it becomes complex when you’re unsure about who you should allow to have vulnerabili-tea with you.
Well, why not have it with the ones who’ve shown you exactly why you can be vulnerable? The ones that pour into you religiously. The ones that support you in every way that they can. The ones that have shown love in every way that they can. The ones that have provided stability, security and warmth. The human sage sticks, amethysts and clear quartz of your life. Perhaps your spirit already knows.
Tap into yourself.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable. (When the intuition clock strikes NOW of course!)
Allow someone who has proven to you that they’re careful with you to know you a little better. Once that safe space is continuously provided, like a lotus in heat; open up more and more and mooooooore.
You deserve to be vulnerable and you deserve to be free!
Whew.
With all of that being said, I got some vulnerabili-tea here, wanna sip?
