Vulnerability isn't for the faint of heart. Being vulnerable is the act of bravery--because that's what it takes. It's a soft toughness; a tough softness. People think you're weak, a frazzle "psycho" for having guts to express yourself, to feel other people's pain and wear their set of shoes on your own feet.

Living in Pink
It's not a mistake. It's pink in my blood. It's my world that I need to keep... not only a continued want. It has healed a great portion of what was wrong in my life.
