some people are born insensitive, some achieve insensitivity and others have ignorance thrust upon them. i know this is not the original quotation. i am dealing with several silly someones. if only i had a thick skin, a tough hide, an ability to let it all be like water off a duck's back, this would all be fine. but no matter how heartless, careless or callous the people around me may choose to be, i can summon no such quality. doesn't this make me vulnerable?
