You know, some of us simply disappear when feelings get heavy. we stop talking, pull back. It's not because we want to avoid anyone or to be rude, but because turning what we feel into words feels literally impossible. We replay everything in their heads, every moment, every thing that stings, explaining it perfectly to ourselves. And once we're ready, we show up like.. like nothing ever happened. From the outside, yes, it can look distant, cold. But it isn't. It's just the only way we know to stay steady.
