Quote: "We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us we’re wrong. Someone we trust."

Have you ever noticed how we tend to be our own worst critics? We are quick to judge ourselves, to focus on our flaws and shortcomings. It's as if we have a magnifying glass that only highlights our imperfections, making them seem larger than life.

Our vulnerabilities are like open wounds, exposed for the world to see. We feel raw and exposed, unsure of ourselves and our worth. In these moments, it can be difficult to see past our own insecurities and self-doubt.

But here's the thing - we can't always trust our own perceptions. We need someone else, someone who can see us from a different perspective, to show us the truth. It takes a trusted friend or loved one to point out when we are being too hard on ourselves, when we are not seeing ourselves clearly.

When we allow someone to get close enough to see our vulnerabilities, to see us at our most raw and exposed, we are opening ourselves up to growth and self-discovery. It takes courage to be vulnerable, to let someone in and show them our true selves.

But in doing so, we give ourselves the opportunity to learn and grow. We allow ourselves to see beyond our own limitations and insecurities, to see ourselves through the eyes of someone who cares for us deeply.

Trusting someone enough to let them see our vulnerabilities is a powerful act of self-love. It shows that we are willing to be seen for who we truly are, flaws and all. It is through this vulnerability that we can truly connect with others and build meaningful relationships.

So, the next time you find yourself being too hard on yourself, remember that you don't have to go through it alone. Reach out to someone you trust, someone who can see past your vulnerabilities and remind you of your worth. Allow yourself to be seen and supported, and watch as you grow into the best version of yourself.
