on Brene Brown and vulnerability

[adinva]

I don't know Grebjack, I really identified with how you grew up; I thought of myself the same way. I think I'm stronger now that I know some real pain to deal with...and some much better ways of dealing with it...and how to let myself be vulnerable to seek the help and companionship of people.

I think you need to get through this, like a phoenix. There will be some of you that is changed, but at the core you'll still be you. Take off what seems not-you when you are ready. You're still working through this. But you need to like yourself, and be your greatest fan.

You might not be cheering for the exact same things as before, but what you are doing here takes courage and guts and is worth cheering for much more than the risks you might have taken before.
