A woman doesn’t become cold — she becomes careful after being hurt. Her warmth does not vanish; it retreats. Her openness does not disappear; it shields itself. Her love does not die; it learns boundaries. She knows that pain teaches her to guard her spirit, to measure her trust, to protect her dignity. What others call coldness is simply her wisdom—her refusal to be wounded in the same way twice.
