In a cracking shell, I know that the shell needs attention. I can work with that.
If I'm in a bubble I have no opportunity to repair nothing. Is like a sudden dead.

This is a sucker's question! I can't believe so many people fell for it!!! I am neither a shell that cracks nor a bubble that pops. These imply an exterior which must be penetrated in order to achieve something ineffable. That ineffable-ness is achievable without any sort of piercing or destruction of the self. The journey towards enlightenment is a long one, of many steps. It is not something that cracks or pops. While there are moments of epiphany when an idea seems to strike like lightning, those moments are long in building and do not come from nowhere.

The shell that cracks because the shell has something left while the bubble pops and has nothing left.

I would like to be in a bubble that pops because it sounds fun and new like a new birth, but I feel like a shell that has little cracks and that is sad.

A shell that cracks. you can fix a cracking shell but once a bubble pops there is no getting it back.

I am a bubble that floats about reflecting everything around it, & then I don't really "pop," I turn into a fine little mist. I don't think I'd like to be shell, whether I cracked or not. The metaphor makes me feel claustrophobic.

My bubble has been popped and my shell cracked, however, I have always been able to re-new in every situation. It's life, what can i say. However, as I grow in this world, my shell tends to melt away and my bubble tends to expand. I like to know that i can grow where ever I'm planted.

When I was very little (and not yet "conscious" of the world around me, or reality, or life as we know it), something significant happened one seemingly innocuous day.
Perhaps about 2 or 3 at the time, I was in my then usual dreamlike state as my parents visited for dinner at my grandparents' home. Suddenly!, there was a loud popping sound in my head, and just as suddenly, the dream ended and I was for the very first time, truly AWAKE.
For whom the bubble pops? No one knows until it pops for thee.
And so to answer your question, I was once upon a time in a bubble that popped. Perhaps the cracking shell is yet to come...

A very good question indeed.
I would say that I was in a a bubble that popped. I used to be so....I don't know...unfree. Now I feel like a free-spirtited person that just wants to help people. Although sometimes a new bubble does form over me....but it pops sooner or later when I just live like it is my last day(which I do everyday).
