Theodore RoethkeThose who are willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries.
About This Quote
The willingness to be vulnerable is a quality that is often looked at as a weakness, but it is also a strength. When you are willing to be vulnerable with someone, you are willing to open yourself up to someone else. You’re not afraid of being hurt. You allow yourself to be open and vulnerable with someone because you trust them or they have earned your trust.
