Be Vulnerable!

The other day in class, we watched a movie about being "vulnerable." It surprised me at first, because I always figured being vulnerable was a bad thing, but after their explanation, I'm going to try harder to be vulnerable!
Being vulnerable is being more of being open about yourself. Your culture, religion, habits, personality.. Anything that lets you be known and makes you unique. Anything that stands out about you, could potentially make you "vulnerable." Most people hide these things, being afraid it'll make them "different" and possibly made fun of. But, these are the things that build who we are. If we always hide these things, no one will truly understand who we really are.
This movie opened my eyes that I do hide some things that will make me "vulnerable." I just go day by day staying "hidden" and not really wanting to draw attention to myself. I realize I should let myself more known, and that doesn't always mean to grab attention. I just need to not hide away those things about me that make me unique. The things some people may or may not like. The things that make me who I am.

BE VULNERABLE!
