I absolutely believe that there is real value in sharing your soul with someone and putting it all on the line, and I also believe that for one to be vulnerable with another human being, they must first be willing to be vulnerable with themselves. ⠀ ⠀ How transparent and honest are we with our own minds, bodies, and souls! When's the last time you dug really really deep and you just kept digging, peeling back layer after layer while figuratively lying in the fetal position and crying because the only source of nutrition (those pretty little lies we tell ourselves) you've come to rely on is being withheld? ⠀ ⠀ Trust me, this kind of pain is not for the faint of heart, but in doing so I've never felt so free, so calm, so present or so me. Once I identified what was hurting me, what was fueling me, what was bringing me joy, what was scaring me so much and all of the why's, sharing those things with others soon began feeling both easy and normal; not in that oversharing social media kinda way, but in that this is ME: flawed, dope, extremely self-aware and happy to be in life. ⠀ ⠀ Read more with the link in our bio!⠀ ⠀ #changingculture #living #dogood #vulnerability https://www.instagram.com/chrispingilbert/p/BssgHmpHRwW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mgdicq69o160
