Vulnerability

"Once you come to terms with your vulnerability and accept it as a valide aspect of yourself, you're not so frightened of it. You can have confidence that yes, you're vulnerable, but no longer scared. I'm not afraid of my shadow.

There's a price you pay for being an artist, and that's being vulnerable. It's where the inspiration comes from. It's also what makes artists so self-possessed. The senses aren't deadened, and there's an unfiltered source of external experience that's overwhelming." - Eliza Gilkyson
