Showing weakness is not a bad thing to be avoided at all costs, and neither is showing emotion. Expressing vulnerability is a neutral trait which will be fit for some circumstances, and unfit for others.

“Happiness occurs when you forget who you’re expected to be. And what you’re supposed to do. Happiness is an accident of self-acceptance. It’s the warm breeze you feel when you open the door to who you are.” - Matt Haig (The Comfort Book)

It may be hard at first, but choosing to carry on in life is the first step to resiliency.

Setting a goal comes with setting expectations and expectations come with fulfillment.

I truly believe that you cannot invest your love and support into others until you have invested it in yourself first.
