Clearly, you're empathic; and with that empathy came even more vulnerability. When you re-framed it and realized how important being authentic was, you saw it for the wonderful opportunity it presented. Lovely.

I was at a funeral today, and though I knew the lady who had passed away, I was not close to her. I cried because I could feel the emotion around me, and also because any funeral makes you think of your own mortality, and that of you loved ones. It reminds you that life is fleeting, and every moment should be lived to the full.<br />I tried to hide my tears, and reapplied makeup to my red face as soon as possible, because I felt that others may judge me, because I wasn't close enough to her. I was afraid to show my vulnerability.<br />But I think that it has brought to my attention that unless I embrace it, I will miss out on the truly wonderful moments of my life.
