I have a friend of mine who used to say all the time that she preferred living life like a turtle. Safe in her little shell. Happy to stick her head out occasionally, but mostly happy to stay in her safe world where people couldn't really hurt her.
We had a lot of talks about why that wasn't healthy. About how you can't live life in a bubble (or a shell as the case may be).
We talked about taking risks and how getting hurt is a part of life that we MUST experience.
But still, she liked turtleville.
I see her point sometimes. If I'm honest with myself. Maybe I might like living life as a turtle.
All that to say, I shouldn't blog when I'm tired. So, I'm going to crawl up in my shell and sleep.
I can relate. I can be a bad "shell dweller" myself. I's not good. I try...
