Being vulnerable
Trust is not something that comes natural to me. I do not know if this is something that has always been my nature or if perhaps life experience has produced such a tendency to mistrust and hold others at arms' length. However, throughout my own introspection I find it particularly hard to share my inner feelings with those I want share the most. It seems that my inner conscious knows my desire to open up and be vulnerable, and therefore the message from my heart is interrupted before it can be fully expressed from my tongue. I become closed, mute, and seemingly callous. It is a frustrating state of emotion for both me and those to whom I want to be close. I hope that soon my tongue will be freed from its apparent steel cage of mistrust. I will reach a place where I can live freely in the uncomfortable, but wonderful world of being vulnerable.

Do not feel that the inability to be open and vulnerable is necessarily a bad thing. We as humans would like to be real and open with everyone else, and at the same wish that other people will remain the people we think them to be. When you are supposed to be open and vulnerable, God will give you the strength. You need not to force yourself to break your own defenses of protection.
