A Journey In Vulnerability

A Softer Side

Hi friends,

It's been a little while. I hope you've all been living your best lives and that 2020 is starting out well for each of you who reads this. It's been a good start to the year for me. When I think of where I was this time last year compared to now, I can't help but to be proud of how far I've come.

One week from today it will be a year since I started this thread. There have been ups and downs along the way. Some of you have been with me since day one, some are newer to this journey I'm on. And I just want you all to know that I'm really grateful for the support you've shown me here. Not just of my photos, although your appreciation of them means a lot too. But the support you've shown me as a person who struggles with the darkness within, and who sometimes can't keep it together and doesn't always have the greatest filter.

A lot has changed for me over the past year. I've found myself in a lot of ways. Found out things I never expected to be true, and found out that even when someone hurts you to the core of your being, it's ok to want to trust the next person that comes along. It wasn't easy, and it took time, but it was so worth it because that's how I ended up with the most amazing guy ever. :heart:

I've had it pointed out to me that some of my more recent posts haven't had the same tone of vulnerability that I started out with. I think this is both true and untrue. I'm not the same girl I was when I posted that first picture, it's true. But in a lot of ways I'm so much more vulnerable now because I've finally learned how to let someone in to my heart. Which in turn has allowed me to feel confidant and safe enough to just have fun sometimes... Not everything has to have some deep meaning, I think is the lesson I've learned. Because having someone(or multiple someones, like you all) to share with is the deeper meaning. :rose:

New here. Thanks for sharing all your vulnerability, but also for the sexy tease too. You seem very confident now, but maybe you are just realistic instead of vulnerable?

Thanks for stopping by:)

I hope I’ve gained in confidence and realistic-ness. (I’m pretty sure that’s not a word, but hey, it’s late.) But I hope that I have retained my vulnerability to a certain extent. It’s become a good friend.

Maybe it is a word. And maybe new friends are okay too.
 
Let's go 2020! Have so many good things to look forward to this year. It's been a long time since I've been this excited for a new year. I hope you all have all the best things this year!

Went to a fancy party tonight to bring in the new year, and well, I forgot to wear anything under my dress. Oops :devil:

Can't show you the proof photo I sent my Bear, cause it's against the rules, but I did want to share this one with you :D

This is super classy looking, but I would take a peak at bush. But judging from your latest pic, it wouldn’t have been much of one.
