Why are we like this?

True, but I wanna be right in them or very near. Even an hour to Julian is too far for me and Big Bear is way too far. I want mountains in my backyard which is a big reason for going to Canada.

I read this too fast, and when I first saw SD I thought you guys were talking about South Dakota!!
South Dakota does kind of have mountains, if you can call the Black Hills mountains. But when you talked about being near the water, I thought, hmmm, that's a part of South Dakota I'm not familiar with! :laugh:
I get it now.
Rayn:
Oh, yeah, sorry... San Diego! :o :laugh:

I loooooooooooove San Diego. I'd love to live there. Had one of the best times of my life there. My husband proposed to me on the beach at Coronado (at the Naval base there). We had lunch outside at the Coronado Hotel the next day, and dinner in the best seafood restaurant I've ever been to the next night. Wonderful, wonderful.
So many places I'd love to live in... Sadly, none of them is Florida (where I actually live). Another thing that haunts me is cities. There was that song in the 80s - Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City." That pretty much says it all. I've never felt so completely at home as I've felt walking the streets in cities like Chicago, New York (Manhattan), San Francisco, and London. The mountains call out to me, and so do waters. But I feel strangely disconnected around them. Not so in the city. Must have been a Londoner in a very lovely past life or something (too bad I don't believe in that, though).

Hi guys,
Just randomly browsing around the site like I do when I have a rare moment of indulgence, & I was struck by your words of feeling you were in a shell, because that is my experience too. I grew a protective shell because of various childhood factors & although I have come out of it partially when something is such a part of you it is difficult to extricate yourself from it. I identify with Ennis strongly as I feel he has a self-imposed shell & is very internalized.
I don't think that everyone who gets BBM necessarily has this same experience & it's probably fruitless to ask, but you can't help being curious can you? :)
