When I read back over past entries, I can’t help but to think that I sound like just another typical teenage girl -- overly infatuated with some random guy whose company I grew overly accustomed to. But somewhere in my reminiscences of our conversations, I get lost in the extreme vulnerability that he exposed himself to, and the false security that I clung so tightly to. I was so unwilling to take a chance at openness, at uncertainty, at vulnerability, that I unknowingly turned around and walked away from love, when it had been staring me straight in the eyes for over half a year. I’ve always known myself to be too cautious, too safe, maybe even pretentious, but this final experience is what’s finally forced me to tear down my misconceptions about people and open myself up to the world. As Scott Peck explains, “There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.”

This article sort of reasserts what I'm saying here.



can someone give me feedback as to why i was ranked a 2.0? i think that this post was decently written, and i gave it thought. it's honest as well.. maybe it's not what people are interested in reading? i don't know what to write about.. the FAQ say politics aren't a necessity.
