I have been asked one question many times, "Where have all the good men gone?" Instead it should be asked, "Who did something to make the good men hide?" Good men are all around. Many are just busy trying to keep their humanity. Like so much used carpet, constantly walked upon by those that were thought to be better. Maybe that's why I feel like I do. I told someone today that I don't want someone in my life right now. It seemed to make her sad. I didn't know what else to say. I just got burned pretty bad. Still trying to make sense of my own emotions let alone appease someone else's. And so, truth hurts................but it's better I go this alone. I thank all the kindness I get from here, and I hope that friends we all can remain. But as for me, and the thought of letting someone in, it's not going to happen.............not for awhile. Maybe not ever. Sorry, but stone is hard to soften, and stone I have become.
