Vulnerabeauty

To show vulnerabeauty is to see the magic in the mundane,

to see courage in sharing we are tired, needy, hiding, confused, or bored. It is to see the wonder in our flaws and the potential in our mistakes. Willing to be new, go alone, start again, own less, expect less, forgive more, let go of control and find beauty in being lost or sad.

Vulnerabeauty helps us learn that we hurt others too, and that it is never too late to re-learn to love after practicing fear. It is talking less with our mouths, listening more with our hearts, sharing a story right to the end, sleeping in till 4pm, getting up and trying again, playing for a while in the sand, and being older and finding a cool new friend.

We offer vulnerabeauty when we strive for authenticity over nice, for movement over comfort, creativity over labels, and learn first hand that encouragement and grace is more powerful that shaming to inspire lasting change.

He offered her a rare vulnerabeauty on the day he cried with her, rather than just passing the tissues.

After being hospitalised for depression she allowed herself to be less perfect, and she knew that even in her sadness there was vulnerabeauty to be found.
