vulnerability doesn’t mean telling others what happened to us from across a cafe table or from behind a microphone

and then going home from the experience feeling just as alone as you did before

vulnerability means allowing your human heart blanket to get sewn to other heart blankets

it’s about connection

we don’t share for status
we do it for synergy

we don’t confess for clout
we do it to build community

we tell our tale
to invite others
to tell theirs

it’s the sacred cycle
of storytelling

we gather in a circle of trust and
say “here is my journey”

then we listen to
the other journeys
that are shared

we take space
then we give space

we pour
then we absorb

we speak
then we listen

we are storytellers
then we are witnesses

vulnerability isn’t just about
grave digging in our past
to expose our skeletons

it’s about sewing quilts

here is my patch
here is your patch
here is their patch
here is us ❤️

here is our story
