Next time anyone tells you to be strong or when they say you are weak or if you feel within you are weak, recall this story. If you are hurt, when you're injured, there's going to be a wound. You have to take care of the abrasion if you want it to heal quicker. When the wound is fresh, it's susceptible to infection and deterioration. This is vulnerability. It is a phase, a temporary state. When you experience trauma, you experience a sort of helplessness, you are not your normal self, during this period you are vulnerable. It does not mean you are a weak individual, it simply means you are recovering, it means you are human, it means you are normal.
Weakness is when you believe you are what others say about you, when you go on a pity party, when you downgrade yourself, when you start to believe you are unworthy because you are not fulfilling someone's criteria. Just because there's a misfit, it doesn't mean you are unworthy. Just because you want the other person and they don't want you as much, it doesn't mean you have to change yourself so they may want you, it doesn't mean you don't deserve them. It simply means the fit is not right here. A shoe of size seven is not unworthy of a foot of size six, it's just unfit. Unfit does not equal unworthiness just like vulnerable is not weak. Never let anyone tag your worth.
