The Power of Vulnerability

Aug10

I watched this video a couple of years ago and it had a huge impact on me. I had an awakening. I thought, “Holy crap, that’s me…”  I remember in 2009 I decided to start writing a Credo.  When I look back at my Credo I see a lot of whole heartedness.  I live with an open heart and I believe my vulnerability is beautiful. It is so important to me, that even when I am hurt by those I gave my love to, that I refuse to stop risking. My ability to remain vulnerable is at the core of who I am and where my happiness, joy, and creativity flourishes from. I discovered this TED talk after I had begun to identify within the BDSM culture as a girl. I hope others, and specifically girls and their Daddies, find this video as interesting and valuable as I did.

  1. It’s so beautiful. I have tears in my eyes.

    I do believe my vulnerability is beautiful, but it is oh, so hard. And often painful.
    But I can’t live any other way.

    And belief that I am worthy….. that is a constant struggle for me. But I’m getting there

    Thanks for posting this 🙂

    • Don’t you find it ironical how freely you state that you have tears in your eyes? Yes, vulnerability is beautiful indeed. 🙂

      In all honesty, until recently I can’t recall a feeling of unworthiness. Even in recent times it is not that I thought myself unworthy of love, but that a person I mistrusted caused me to feel unworthy within my dynamic. I wasn’t unworthy though. I see that now. It’s taken time, but I am healing.

      • Yes, it is ironic. But I don’t know how to be any other way… and as much as it hurts sometimes, I agree with the speaker here….

        I’m glad you don’t know the feelings of unworthiness. It is a constant struggle for me that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. But every day I’m a bit healthier….. and that’s the important thing.
