What I've made myself to you, physically and emotionally, and the one thing I tried so hard to avoid being, simply because I've been hurt one too many times. I want reassurance so desperately sometimes, but I know you can't really tell me exactly what I need to hear (though, it isn't your fault).

I think that vulnerability is probably most evident when it relates to love, relationships, at least for me. I've let humans into my thoughts, my life, into me, and I've been hurt just for that reason. Though it would seem a simple issue with an even simpler answer, or more appropriately, cure, it really isn't. I honestly tried not to let this happen again, I closed myself off to such things for a time.. but of course I failed, thankfully.

I'm thrilled that I've found someone so amazing, so gorgeous, intelligent, someone who makes me smile, laugh, cry out of pure intense emotion, that is, love. I just wish sometimes that love didn't always make me so infinitely vulnerable.. though, I also don't want to hold back out of fear. So.. I'll go on, and I'll risk the hurt I'll risk the unbelievable pain because I'm happier and more in love now than I've ever been in my entire life.
