The Universe: Knock, knock... let me in!!!

Updated: Nov 29

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

It's me—the Universe. And I know what you’re thinking: “Not now, Universe, I’m busy holding it all together.”


Well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re not fooling anyone. I’ve seen how hard you try to walk that tightrope of life, balancing everything with the finesse of a tipsy acrobat—work, relationships, responsibilities, all while juggling those flaming torches of adulting. But here’s the kicker: you’re gripping those torches like they’re going to save you, when in reality, you might just need to let them fall.


That’s right. I’m here to talk to you about something you’ve been dodging like your neighbor’s invite to that awkward backyard BBQ: vulnerability. Yeah, I know, it sounds messy, scary even—but hang tight, because what if I told you it’s actually the key to living a life that’s more than just keeping your balance?


The Tightrope of Vulnerability


Here’s the truth: Vulnerability is like walking that tightrope, only without a safety net. But the secret is, everyone’s doing it. Some people just make it look a little easier, but trust me, we’re all in the same circus. And yeah, it’s terrifying. Opening up, showing your flaws, letting people see the cracks in your armor—it feels like you’re handing over the matches to burn it all down. But, and this is the big but, that’s where the magic happens.


Research backs this up. Studies show that vulnerability is one of the biggest keys to connection. People who embrace it have stronger relationships, more creativity, and even better mental health. Yeah, I just went all fact-based on you, but that’s because I want you to know this isn’t just cosmic mumbo jumbo. It’s real, and it’s powerful.


You Can’t Control It All


Let’s talk control for a second. You like to think you’ve got it—managing every detail, keeping your head above water. But newsflash: life’s going to throw stuff at you that you can’t plan for. So what are you going to do? Keep pretending you’re the world’s greatest tightrope walker, or admit that sometimes, it’s okay to fall and let someone catch you? Vulnerability is that fall. It’s admitting you don’t have all the answers, that sometimes you’re scared, or lost, or just plain exhausted.


But here’s the kicker—when you let yourself be vulnerable, when you let the guard down, that’s when people truly see you. That’s when real connection happens. You can spend your whole life juggling, or you can drop the torches and realize the fire won’t burn you down; it’ll light the path forward.


Life’s Lessons in the Flames


The lesson here? Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s pure, unfiltered strength. It’s allowing yourself to be human, to make mistakes, to feel deeply. I didn’t put you on this rock floating through space so you could bottle up everything and never take a risk. I threw some curveballs your way because I know you’ve got the grit to face them. Vulnerability is about facing the fire, letting it refine you, not destroy you.


Think of all the people you admire. Odds are, they weren’t the ones who played it safe and stayed closed off. They’re the ones who let themselves be seen, flaws and all, and embraced the chaos. That’s where greatness lies. Not in perfection, but in owning your imperfections.


So, What’s Next?


Next time you’re up there on that tightrope, juggling those flaming torches of life, remember this: you don’t always have to keep everything in the air. Let the fire drop, let yourself fall, and trust that you’ll come out stronger. Vulnerability is the doorway to growth, connection, and real freedom. And besides, you can only juggle so long before it all gets boring anyway.


So, let go. Fall. Be vulnerable. I promise you, it’s worth it.


Yours truly,

The Universe


P.S. If you’re still on the fence about letting those torches drop, here’s a little nudge:

"Life’s not about keeping the fire in check—it’s about dancing in the flames and daring to be vulnerable enough to get burned, knowing it’s the scars that tell your story." ~SH
