RE: Reflections - Dancing around Honesty, Vulnerability, and Balance...
Something that I noticed about my writing and totally relate to you about vulnerability is how I have been posting pictures and sharing my daily routine with everyone on Steemit. While I really enjoy and absolutely don't have any problem with public, I still have been feeling really vulnerable when I share every part of my day here with pictures and stuff. This is one of the reasons I have been trying to share stuff from a different perspective which doesnt really give away my life but still gives a interesting post at the end.
Yes! The vulnerable part: it comes in all shapes and many shades!
I think it's not easy to put you out there. I mean, I can totally take an hour or so for choosing a picture of mine that doesn't show me obese. Lol
Jokes aside, just now I have shared a post... Talking about my personal experiences in a way. Definitely not easy. You can judge me for a number of reasons. I may sound the kind who complains a lot. Someone who thinks that her problems are bigger than this whole world... And then I will try to tone myself down. Will unnecessarily touch a topic or two, to dissuade you from thinking like this. But in my defence, my problems are my world to me. I don't have to go through an unimaginably horrible experience to share what I want to share...
Am I making any sense?
That's who I am.
Thank you so very much for stopping by!
Love and hugs
I can totally related to this. I think we have all been conditioned in a way to be more compromising, especially the women in the house. We have always been taught to ignore our problems because there are "bigger problems" and other people you have to take care of. But the truth is, other people also need to understand our experiences are equally important to be given.
I hate that women are just "expected" to compromise and endure everything in the name of being a superwoman.
Huh, Rant over!
