I want a shell to hide in. I want to be away from it. Of course whatever shell I can find won't be my own. It will be a temporary solution.
The problem is really me, not being able to accept I live in a world with many opinions, different from my own. I want to pass judgment and say, "What a waste of a human being you are! Little Man with your big gun, do you feel like God now that you've stopped a beating heart?"
I'm pissed off because people seem to me, to be heartless, self centered, greedy. I'm disgusted because I'm also one of them, "He without sin may cast the first stone..."
What I really need to do is keep going in that positive direction. Why can't I have what Anne Frank had, "Despite everything I believe people are really good at heart.."
I need the courage to take off my shell. Leaving yourself open to feel the hurt also means you will be able to feel the good. This is better than not feeling anything at all.

I hope you find your courage...great blog today ~ Anne Frank's quote really means something to me and I want so badly to believe that!
We need to hear good news as well as the bad. A local news channel in my area started to report on the goodness of humans. My favorite was the 4 teenage boys in a "rough" neighborhood dashed into a burning home to save the elderly wheelchair bound woman that lived there. So have heart, a lot of nice people are out there. I do get frustrated with the amount of violence however.
The good is almost always harder to find but we should never stop looking.
i know how you feel, I've felt like hiding away myself recently. But we shouldn't hide, we should face the bad and be strong. When you do open your heart, you feel everything, the good and the bad..
hope your day gets better.. take care
I agree with you! Sometimes I want to crawl into a shell myself!!
(Have you ever seen a hermit crab without its shell???? ICK!!)
I was feeling this way on Friday, but I don't know why. Just a funk. I hate funks. It's a little better today..hopefully you are feeling a little better too.
(I've never seen our hermit crabs without their shell and I can imagine it would be ICK!)
At about 1:14 you can see the hermit crab come out of its shell......... loverly.......
Yes I have been that way too. It must be because it is winter.
