Are We Afraid of Being Vulnerable?
I was talking to someone the other day, and she asked me questions about relationships. As we get older, we run into different things with people. Some of us have friends who have been with their high school sweetheart for FOREVER. We all may say out in the open, "aww, that's cute." But if you don't have a partner in your head you're thinking, "shut up, we get it, you guys are perfect." At the same time, all we see is the good parts of the relationship, never the struggles. Because keeping a relationship together is hard at some points and it takes work—a lot of work. It makes the people in the relationship start being vulnerable with each other.
