Cold is

chosen

when the vibes

feel heavy.

*

Cold is

learned

when trust

is broken.

*

Cold is

chosen

to keep the

heart from becoming

broken again.

*

Cold is

learned

when feelings

are dismissed.

*

Cold is

chosen

to avoid

being seen.

*

Cold is

learned

because being

seen just created

more pain.

*

Cold is

chosen

as a

boundary.

*

Cold is

learned

as trauma

and scars.

    When the vibes feel heavy 🤔 Broken trust, yes. I am feeling coldness of heart just thinking about someone breaking my trust. Unhealed wound rising up. But not to my detriment, they are still keeping me calm. It's like you understand us as much as you understand yourself. Dismissed feelings. Oh boy are they the worse. As trauma and scars. A lovely and true ending. Fantastic work Luna 🤗❤️

  • Whoaaa, this hit me so hard because of how true it is. Loved it!
