Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not. Ashton Kutcher
About This Quote

In a world where people are looking for perfection, vulnerability is a great deal to bare. When we are vulnerable, we expose our flaws and our flaws can sometimes be worse than our strengths. But vulnerability is a necessary part of the human experience. We all have a line where we feel comfortable being vulnerable and a line where we feel vulnerable and exposed. The decision to be vulnerable depends on our fears and also our hopes.
