Vulnerable - AM I ?

And every time I take the courage to walk on the path of emotions, I feel vulnerable. How does this path of emotions look like? This pic is something I can connect to...it is unexplored, it is filled with surprises, it is tempting, it is promising, it is attractive, it just makes me vulnerable every time I experience these emotions. Do I really need them? Should I ignore them? What is the source of these emotions?. Questions arise each time I sense them, each time I get close to them. And then finally he walked into my life, he affirmed....held my hand, kissed me on my lips and said....."your beautiful", yes being in your arms is being vulnerable and it's makes me beautiful.
