A challenge for me has been vulnerability. It’s something that I never pursued until recently and something that I’ve been taking more seriously. Realizing the impact on others of sharing moments of my life story in which I failed numerous times has been an eye-opening experience. Taking a step back to reflect on losses has brought me a lot of clarity and helped me give myself more grace.

Looking at things in a vacuum is much harder to understand and deal with, so sharing personal experiences with my therapists, family, or other safe spaces has helped me tremendously. Before, I would only show others pieces of me and hide my weaknesses and failures to deal with alone. Vulnerable is freedom.
