Fiercely vulnerable @dans-quest - Tumblr Blog

I believe in love. Not the glossy kind, but the real, human kind, the kind that asks for honesty, care, reflection, and vulnerability.

I lead with empathy and tenderness, even when it’s hard, because I know deep down, people are all we’ve got.

This space is for people who feel deeply, hope quietly, and love sincerely.

If you’re kind, gentle, reflective, non-judgmental, and empathetic, you’re welcome here.

I made this blog when I was 18…

I haven’t been on tumblr since I was 20, and I’m now 30

A lot has changed since then, I’ve overcome a physical and emotional abuser, gotten sober after using for 7 years daily, and am slowly learning to turn the love I give to others toward myself.

I’m not perfect, who is, but I love deeply, and truthfully, and sometimes that’s really painful, and causes me more upset than if I’d stayed hidden away, like I did for those 7 years. However in doing that, I’d stay the same, never growing past a certain point, and I have an unrelenting force to better myself, so that some day it will be valued in the way I know I deserve.

I’ve started this blog again because I want to search and share my time with those who have had similar realisations, that people, are all we’ve got. Granted some of them aren’t worthy of the love we can give, but those who are like us, they’re everything.

Hope everyone is well, and that we’ve all made it through the holidays, even if just by the skin of your teeth. I’m here to talk if anyone needs anything, just as I hope you would extend to me.

Big love, Dan. X
