A Cow with a Hole in It
I heard of an exercise used in a writing workshop that involved imagining a photograph so personal that we couldn’t show it to anyone. What would it be? That’s the level of exposure we’re aiming for.
DBC Pierre • Release the Bats: Writing Your Way Out Of It
Vulnerability at its heart is the willingness to show up and be seen when you can’t control perception.[…]The one thing that we all have in common is… the paradox of vulnerability: that when I meet you, the very first thing I look for in you is vulnerability, and the very last thing I want to show you is my vulnerability.
Maria Popova • Aloneness, Belonging, and the Paradox of Vulnerability, in Love and Creative Work
Vulnerability without boundaries is not vulnerability. It might be fear or anxiety. We have to think about why we’re sharing and, equally important, with whom. What are their roles? What is our role? Is this sharing productive and appropriate?”
