...that tough shell that each crab has? well, i have that too. typical cancerian i am. hard shell outside, all soft and gooey inside. Problem is i could really push people away from me, even the well-meaning ones. yet while i am doing that i am also silently pleading, “please, don’t leave.” on the other hand, who can stand constant rejections and nastiness, which are just my self-defense; could it be true then that inasmuch as it’s hard to give love, it is much harder to receive it…maybe somebody will take the time to draw me out of my shell?
