I believe Vulnerability is the key to true connection. Our egos are so busy creating a perfect self-image that we can present to the world, but people don't connect with us because they are impressed, they connect with us when we allowed them to see our true Selves, the ones we normally hide behind the perfect self-image.
Connection happens when we recognize ourselves in each other. Since nobody is perfect, how could we possibly recognize ourselves in someone else's perfection?
When we see their imperfections and vulnerabilities though, we go, "Hey, she's human! I'm human, too! We're the same! Let's be friends!"
We should all let our guard down a little more often :)
I couldn't agree more.
People fall in love with imperfections, all these tiny little things we're not even aware of. That's what makes us human - and special.
Society does everything to prove us wrong here. They want us to be perfect, but we won't ever be.
Thanks for stopping by - and sharing your connection post :-) Lovely!
