The thing is, if we aren't vulnerable to pain we are going to miss out on all the joy as well.Suehttp://onlythemanager.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223722165290157517.post-89655055934063947822013-05-24T19:37:11.433-06:002013-05-24T19:37:11.433-06:00Sorry I scared you, silly Mom.

I went through a period of my life, in my late teens/early 20s when I withdrew emotionally so far that I realized I was in danger of cutting myself off from any close relationships. I loved my family but did not even want to let that hurt me. I did not want to be touched, either physically or emotionally, because I knew that opened the door to hurt. At that point I made a conscious decision that I did not want my life to be lived that way! No, I did not lose my inborn introversion, but I have been able to open up to really love and be vulnerable. Yes, I've had plenty of pain, but I am so glad I've also had the enrichening love.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479210880259799492noreply@blogger.com
