Our fears relating to intimacy stem from a lot of places, but it takes courage and commitment to uncover those hurts and open up about them to our loved ones and even ourselves. Getting past the fear of being vulnerable is difficult. It takes a long time to undo the hurts of our pasts and realize that it’s okay to let people in. We can remain vulnerable in our love while remaining strong but maintaining that integrity means finding new ways to picture our old wounds. Start opening up to others by opening up to yourself. There’s a beautiful person in there waiting to be loved, but you have to be brave enough to let her out.
