❤️✨ Yes! I relate… my current question is: how do I start coming out of my shell more often, and how can I connect to life and joy and people while still knowing the “safety” of my shell is always right at my back….if and when I should feel the need for it?
This is such a great inquiry... I feel like the act of "coming out of our shell" happens naturally when we recognize the environment we are in is safe. We can relax and let our shell open up. And then if things change, we can always retreat back into our shells for a period to recuperate. I love your reflection: "knowing the safety of my shell is always right at my back" -- should you need it.

The queries of the extra-sensitive introvert!! 😄
I can relate to hermit crabs. Sometimes, it’s just time for a much bigger shell…🥰
So true!! I love the hermit crab analogy xx
