You may feel exposed and vulnerable today as you interact with the people you care about. A strong need to tell your loved ones how you feel can compel you to articulate your emotions openly, even if you have been hesitant to open your soul in this manner in the past. You may be surprised to find yourself wearing your heart on your sleeve, both at home and in your workplace. You may furthermore feel torn between your desire for connections and your fear that others will reject your loving feelings. Consider, however, that the people important to you are likely already aware of your feelings on a visceral level. Your willingness to risk pain today can help you build stronger relationships.

When we are honest about our feelings when dealing with our loved ones, we can take comfort in the fact that they will never have cause to doubt the depth of our tenderness. Oftentimes, it is the fear of rejection that prevents us from fully articulating our emotions in the presence of the people about whom we care the most. Yet vulnerability is a natural and important part of our relationships, as it is the trust with which we interact with the important individuals in our lives that shapes our bonds. Wearing our hearts on our sleeves allows us to take a more active role in the growth of our connections, as we give ourselves the means to fuel evolving ties of love when we are free with our emotions. Your open approach to your relationships will enable you to enthusiastically nurture your connections today.
