Hello whoever is reading this,
How are you?
“How are you?”- A question we get asked too many times a day to count. It’s normally one of the first things you ask someone to start up a conversation, accept the answer is 99.9% of the time the same:
“I’m good thanks, how are you?”
” Yeah, I’m good!”
“Good, good.”
The word ‘good’ is so over used. It’s become a word that is used to cover up anything. But what if the conversation was honest? I’m sure that there would be not only snot and tears but in the process also build trust.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently and as so many people have asked my how I am doing it’s becoming harder and harder just to say good, and so I change the subject and talk about something else and it’s made me realise that although I have 2 or three close people in my life that I can tell all my deepest worries to, I am afraid to open up about anything deep. But the irony is that the person on the other end of the conversation is afraid to do the same. So it got me thinking why am I afraid to be honest about what’s going on in my life?
I came to the conclusion that its all to do with my performance and seeing my identity in that. Ha- its always the way isn’t it, you think you’ve been through all the healings and ministry in one particular subject and boom it swings back around and hits you in the face like a unexpected lamppost that you didn’t see when walking down the road. I would be so afraid to share something going on in my own life that’s real and authentic because I’ve been told so many times that: ‘that’s not me’. ‘hat’s not like you, Megan. You aren’t normally like this.’- So if that’s the case Who am I? (wow I’m sixteen and I’m having an identity crisis wow)
–I think I’ve written about this before- but lies can fill our minds so easily, that they become the truth and the only way to get rid of that fake truth (Or the lie) is to declare God’s truth over it–
So delving into God’s truth and understanding that his truth and what he says over you is the only one that maters makes you more secure in who you. And, when you are more secure its easier to be vulnerable.
I think vulnerability is underrated too because popularity and our own image is placed higher than being real.
So yeah, I’m working on the truth and sharing that, not only to build relationship with others but because I’m not perfect, I go through stuff that’s bad, we all do. No one is perfect, and that’s okay.
Anyway, hope this inspired you to be more vulnerable- its something I’m learning too.
