I am a different person than I was a year ago.
I've learned in different ways over and over again what vulnerability can do for human connection. I've teetered on the edge of wondering if I am being too open at times and who am I doing this for? Is it a cheap way for me to vent without therapy? Is it helpful to prepare the people in my life for moments they will one day experience? Is it egotistical, thinking that anyone could possibly be interested to know this much about my life? I've decided it is probably varying degrees of all of the above, but regardless, I've seen first hand (on multiple occasions) how one person spilling their heart open can lead to others doing the same and if at least one person who never had their feelings validated feels that they too can open up and be vulnerable then that makes this worth it, however it may come across to those who read it.. here it goes. I am a different person than I was a year ago. I've said that line multiple times in my life but not with the meaning it hold...
