When we enter a new relationship, we start from the scratch with a person. While the firecrackers phase is amazing and laden with love and excitement, the thought of being vulnerable to someone and being emotionally attached can be scary. "When we enter a new relationship, we start to dance with vulnerability. Vulnerability requires courage and is, in fact, a measure of our courage. We can’t have courage without stepping into vulnerability. When we decide it is safe to open our hearts, we are both courageous and vulnerable. It’s not easy," wrote Psychotherapist Jennifer Nurick.(Unsplash)
