Don’t we all just hate to admit when we may be wrong or when maybe we are hurting? I know for me that is something that has always been difficult. I would always just brush it off as not a big deal. Especially when it wasn’t. I hated feeling like people would pity me or think less of me if I was vulnerable with them about what was going on. Just being completely open and honest is terrifying. You get put in the uncomfortable position and are fully allowing yourself to be hurt.

Let me tell you something though, it just might be worth it. And that's coming from someone who isn't all too good at it.

There is this really cheesy saying that says, "In order to appreciate the good days, you must first have bad ones.” Now, this saying might actually be on to something here. If every day was good would really everyday be just as good? Hm. Now there is some food for thought. Bad days are a chance to grow, so thus they aren’t something to be ashamed of. My mistakes and misfortunes have made me better and I am not just saying that. In the moment, they were the worst and even now sometimes thinking back on them sucks, but I am so much better for them. Besides, don’t we all just have bad days from time to time?

Let’s talk about them. Let’s talk about our experiences, our pain, our happiness, our fears and our goals. Let’s be ridiculously vulnerable and grow with each other. I have made some of my best friends just through discussing about our dumb mistakes because nothing makes a better friendship then laughing your past from time to time.

I have nothing to lose, well maybe besides my pride, with being vulnerable. So maybe I will actually take my own advice for once.
