Confession! I am a perfectionist who has never wanted to be a perfect personality but always wanted things that I did to be perfect… be it work, projects or events that I worked on and when that perfectionism is activated I suddenly forget that I am someone who lives with a disability.

I have never regarded myself like that. The one who lives with a disability.

As a matter of fact, I did not see it... It took years of living with mental health experiences and sudden trips down mania country or depressive lane to realize that the condition I was dealing with hadn’t puff and suddenly disappeared.

For me, It hid quietly and festered slowly as I conceptualized my life, built on my dreams and visions and some of the things I wanted for my life.

So how did I get here? Self-Examination and a bipolar episode made me reflect on a lot of things and realize that the Art of Vulnerability is Perfection.

Yes! That is the topic of this episode! THE ART OF VULNERABILITY IS PERFECTION!

What we so desperately want to be and how we as humans want to be seen or perceived comes through what makes us terrified, what makes us feel small or not in control and that is Vulnerability.

To see the perfection that you are and the perfection that is you, created by God.. you have to be vulnerable and accept that vulnerability to be able to access all parts of yourself.

In a recent class that I took, which teaches about purpose and personality (the class is more than those two things I have just listed but we’d go with that), the lecturer kept on emphasizing on the fact that, whatever makes you uncomfortable or seems like the hardest to do, is usually what would get you through a situation or get you what you want.

For me, that hardest thing to do is to be vulnerable, allowing someone to see all parts of myself that are broken and watch what I have temporarily glued together to get on by, start to fall apart piece by piece. That is scary.
