Embracing vulnerability is a sign of strength from "summary" of How I Overcame Masturbation by Hemmingway Santos
Being vulnerable is often seen as a weakness in our society. We are taught to hide our weaknesses, to put up a brave front, to not let anyone see us when we are at our lowest. We are told that vulnerability is something to be ashamed of, something to be hidden away. But what if I told you that embracing vulnerability is actually a sign of strength?When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we are allowing ourselves to be truly seen. We are opening ourselves up to the possibility of being hurt, of being judged, of being rejected. And yet, despite all of this, we choose to be vulnerable because we know that it is the only way to truly connect with others, to truly be ourselves. In my own journey to overcome masturbation, I had to confront my vulnerabilities head-on. I had to face the shame, the guilt, the fear that had been holding me back for so long. I had to be honest with myself and with those around me about my struggles, about my weaknesses. And in doing so, I found a strength that I never knew I had. Embracing vulnerability is not easy. It takes courage to be vulnerable, to expose our true selves to the world. But it is only through vulnerability that we can truly grow, that we can truly heal. It is through vulnerability that we can find strength in our weaknesses, that we can find connection in our isolation. So, the next time you feel yourself wanting to hide, to retreat into yourself, to put up walls to keep others out, remember that embracing vulnerability is a sign of strength. It is a sign of courage, of authenticity, of resilience. And it is through vulnerability that we can truly overcome anything that stands in our way.
