The connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers. Virginia Woolf
The intention and outcome of vulnerability is trust, intimacy and connection. The outcome of oversharing is distrust, disconnection - and usually a little judgment. Brene Brown
