i've received a lot of pushback & hate in my life for being vulnerable and sharing that vulnerability. including now. but it's an important value to me so i'm gonna keep being vulnerable anyway.
imo there are many kinds of strength, and strength isn't just about being stoic and unaffected by the things that happen to you.
sometimes strength means admitting you're a human being with emotions, negative and positive, and sharing the things that are difficult and hard for you.
i think our society values the stoic strength and sees vulnerability as weakness.
