V is for: Vulnerability
"I understand now that the Vulnerability I've always felt is the
greatest strength a person can have. You can't experience life

to somebody you love is not a weakness, it's a strength."

X is for: anXious
“Do not be anXious about anything, but in everything, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God".
