On being vulnerable

A man stepped out to the edge, trembling in fear. Knowing full well the danger that could potentially ensue, he put himself out there, because he thought she deserved to know. He proceeded with mild caution and extreme hope. It didn't make sense to him, but that didn't matter anymore because of what she had said, and how real it appeared. The man took one more step and then went for broke; he jumped right in, and in an instant, it was out of his hands...

...and believe me, he didn't regret it.

There are going to be many times in our lives in which we're given the opportunity to be vulnerable. It can be incredibly scary, but in the end, what can we really accomplish by always holding ourselves back? Eventually, we all must develop that faith in ourselves, so we can have faith in each other as well.
