I never thought that being vulnerable could be a strength. Growing up, I always believed that vulnerability was a weakness that made me an easy target for ridicule and judgment.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s6NeMDvIJ

It wasn't until I became a player girl that I realized how wrong I was.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9s9oCrhqZ

I had always been drawn to games that challenged me, games that pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to confront my fears.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrYlGe3Wxt

But it wasn't until I started playing games that required me to be vulnerable that I truly began to understand the power of my own vulnerability.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo29raEqw3

At first, I was hesitant. I didn't want to expose myself, to show my weaknesses to the world. But as I played, I began to see that vulnerability was not weakness, but strength. When I allowed myself to be vulnerable, I was able to connect with others in a deeper, more meaningful way.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkXJCRdUW

I was able to let go of my fears and insecurities and be truly present at the moment.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmNdI04qCF

It wasn't easy, of course. There were times when I wanted to retreat, to hide behind a mask of strength and invincibility. But as I continued to play, I realized that vulnerability was not a weakness to be feared, but a source of strength to be embraced.68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgMFCIE4E3

Now, as I play, I do so with a newfound sense of confidence and courage. I no longer fear my vulnerabilities, but embrace them as a part of who I am. And in doing so, I have discovered a strength that I never knew I had. A strength that has made me a better player, and a better person.
