Everything was going fine, at least you thought it was, until one day you come home to find her waiting by the hallway with all of her things packed and then she's gone. Staring at the door as it closes behind her, all you can feel is numb. Then soon it hits you all at once, yeah, breaking up sucks. It's the risk we take when falling in love with someone. Even if you can't prevent breaking up you can at least have power in how you handle things.

Being Vulnerable

Society has certain expectations of men, if you're a fellow man then you get it. One of these expectation is that men stay cool, calm and collected. That showing any signs of vulnerability is weakness. We do everything in our power to cover the cracks trying hardest to not reveal what’s underneath. We get so good at it, we can even fool our best of friends. The charade continues even if that means pushing others away, ignoring the pain, or even self deception. We truly are our own worst enemies, it doesn’t have to be that way. It shouldn’t be that way, that it's okay to show some of the cracks beneath, it's our vulnerability that reminds us we are human, once we recognize our pain then then we know it's time to move on.

Every man should have a network of close friends, people you could walk though hell any day, or in this case a bad break up. Hit up a few friends and just chill, you don’t need to pour your heart out but just having a friend there is enough. Even if you aren't comfortable with talking then just do activities such as just playing halo or anything to help get your mind off of things.

    Brené Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability, a Ted Talk presented in June of 2010, is a very multifaceted presentation with many different layers of argumentation ripe for analysis. Brown uses her ethos to build rapport on her emotion-based subject. Her credibility relies on her Ph.D. in Social Work, the experiences working in the field she has, as well as her seemingly sage wisdom even she admits was hard to swallow all contribute to the audience’s understanding of her credibility. She creates an extremely convincing pathos through personal stories and experiences, such as admitting her own habits, quirks, and stories that only go to further her point on her ideas of shame, worth, and belonging. Brown continues to even utilize the power of logos…

    After all, to be a human person means to be vulnerable and easily misguided. Jean Vanier’s interview on “The Wisdom of Tenderness” supports the notion by stating that “we don’t know what to do with our own pain, so what to do with the pain of others? We don’t know what to do with our own weaknesses except hide it or pretend I doesn’t exist.” (2). Thus, Vanier explains that humans are vulnerable people who must first learn to accept themselves before they learn to accept others.…

    Joseph Campbell studied ancient greek mythology. After studying, the American Mythologist, Writer, and Lecturer, discovered that heroes in almost every story follow this same path called the Heroic Journey. He figured this out by seeing that all the heroes go through stages. For example, they refuse, they have tests/allies/enemies, and they are rewarded at the end of their journey. Everybody is a hero in their own story if you think about it.…

As sad as it may seem, nothing lasts forever, and sometimes we grow apart from the ones we love the most. It’s quite strange that we can go from knowing someone so well, and spending so much time together. To very rarely seeing them, and becoming such a miniscule part of their lives.…

    In Kitchen Table Wisdom, Dr. Rachel Remen offers countless stories demonstrating the importance of creating a medical environment that fosters intimacy, vulnerability, and a willingness to accept the hardest moments of human life. In Remen’s book, these moments all center around death and dying. Through storytelling, Remen is able to illuminate the hidden stories and feelings associated with death, the uncertainty of death, and the fear of losing a loved one. Remen demonstrates that only by breaking away from the bureaucratic and emotionless medical narrative, and instead, by simply offering open ears and a hand to hold for those who are most afraid, can create a sense of inner-peace and an acceptance of death for those dying of terminal illnesses.…

    Vulnerable One definition of vulnerable is capable or susceptible to being wounded or hurt, as by a weapon another definition is being open to moral attack or temptation. I declared in the paper that being alone away from the church, family and friends once more for the reason that the church has decided to ignore the truth that one has a higher chance to fall into sin. Without fellowship, encouragement and support from the church one can be more tempted to make decisions that are fatal. That leads me to the term vulnerable I constantly have revealed how this ideology attempts to build you up similar to a religion would do they first want to tear you down then build you up.

    The theses of the TED talk “The power of vulnerability”, by Brené Brown , is that we all struggle with vulnerability in our lives; we fail to truly express ourselves and allow ourselves to be deeply seen, for the fear of not being accepted. But it is when we can truly accept who we are, and recognize our worth, that we can finally embrace vulnerability. Brown uses a humorous and an intimate tone in her Ted talk, to point out her struggle with vulnerability. These two tones are visible when Brown gets personal about her struggle with vulnerability, leading her to go see a therapist as she had a “breakdown”, but as intimate as she gets about her life, she still has a very humorous tone, keeping the audience entertained at the same time.…
