Great read Jemma Jorel ♥ and happy (belated) birthday gift. I think birthdays are always a great time for some reflection and so is your invitation to share some of our own.

Last year I suffered an unexpected health issue after a holiday to Spain, that resulted in being rushed into emergency and spending a week in hospital. After being healthy all of my life, this came as a huge shock to my system and I felt extremely vulnerable. What I learned from this experience is that people care more than I expect or realise. I learned to be able to lean on these people and that being vulnerable is ok, it makes me real and dropping my guard (read: superhuman, I can do it myself) opens me up to a whole other level of possibility.

Thanks for giving me the prompt to think about this.
