My head and heart aren't always in the same place either. I hope it didn't sound insulting in any way or negative. You sound like a good person and it just seems that lately for some reason it's the best people - the kind hearted and trusting I know who get hurt the most. I'm so "tired" of it. So - as you say - we just have to keep plugging away. Sometimes, it's an odd thing, I feel like I just want to join the crowd and become nasty and mean-spirited myself. But I just keep positively plugging - who knows where it will get me? To a better place inside myself I hope.

That's exactly where it gets you, tired, to a better place within you. And only the open-hearted can get hurt. Sure, we can become closed and cynical, feeling nothing but anger and negativity. I prefer to take my chances at being hurt than closing myself off to all the good people in life by withdrawing like that. Did that once after being very hurt and didn't like it at all because that just wasn't my nature. I want to beat them, not join them. :) As Ghandi said, " Be the change you wish to see in the world." :)

I agree. It is a hard motto to live by, for me anyways, but I have it pinned up on my wall. It reminds to step outside my mental box, and just be a little more than people and myself expect.
