Teamwork. As we plummet through this thing we call life we end up meeting someone and creating a powerful team. Souls are bared, trust is given. But, what about when that trust is broken? Your heart is broken. The ability to trust is gone. Not just with the person that broke the trust. But with everyone. the lesson has been learned. The only person you can rely on, the only person you can trust, is you. You have no choice. You must remain strong. There is no room for weakness. Chances are, you still have someone that needs you to be strong. Brother, sister, mom, child, or maybe a friend that is also going through hard times.
The problem is, you only have so much energy. You aren't Superman, you aren't Wonderwoman, you aren't some superhero with unlimited amount of energy. At some point the energy is going to run out and you are going to have to recharge and let someone in.
It's not going to be easy. Opening yourself up, being vulnerable. And it does NOT make you weak. Actually, it's quite the opposite. To pick someone to be vulnerable to during this time takes a ton of courage. You will need to be strong, but, in a different way. Our society tells us that to be vulnerable is to be weak, but, that's not the case at all. You aren't going to heal by being "strong" and not giving yourself the chance to release the emotions that are raging inside of you.
To be strong... You must be vulnerable.
