Vulnerability

I'm loving this song right now by Marina And The Diamonds...

It's so ironic that we are taught to be strong and invulnerable to survive in society, yet it is our very vulnerability that makes us so beautiful and loveable. 

If we don't let people in to see our vulnerability, we don't let them in to love us. 

We think we are doing this to survive, but it's counter-intuitive because we need love to survive. What a catch 22!

This song really resonates for me, I've got it on repeat : )


I Am Not A Robot

You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not

You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing

I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled

Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Well, let the drum beat drop.
