It's who I am as a person.

I just am okay with... I love...

I love being vulnerable.

I love being open.

I love having heart to hearts with people.

Like this is what life is about for me.

This is like my purpose on this planet, it feels like, is to just have really vulnerable conversations.

For whatever reason, I was born and I just am not afraid of it, right?

I'll talk about anything, anything for the most part.

And even if it's something embarrassing, even if it's something really vulnerable, even if it's something that most people wouldn't want to say about themselves, like I don't care.

I will pretty much say anything about myself for the sake of human connection.

Now, in some ways, that's a beautiful thing because we do connect with one another through vulnerability, right?

Like, think about a time when you're at a party or something and maybe the vibe in the room was a little tense and then somebody made a vulnerable joke or told a vulnerable story.

Next thing you know, the room is moving different.

It feels different.

People are connecting more.

It's...

you know kind of a veil was lifted things are a bit more clear there's a bit more connection happening like that's how it is you know like think about the first vulnerable conversation you had with your best friend and how that was the moment that you both really truly connected for the first time or a romantic partner the list goes on you know like vulnerable conversations are how we connect with other people you're not connecting with people over small talk you're not and so

You know, it's a crucial ingredient, in my opinion, in any sort of meaningful conversation or relationship, right?

Vulnerable conversation, storytelling, admitting to one's shortcomings, the list goes on, right?
