This phase

In the irregular path of life there comes a time when have been through so much that a threshold arises. After which the flow of emotions is washed away. Nothing matters, nothing bothers, nothing bubbles up the feelings, nothing stirs the strings of the heart.
This phase might be transient but it has deeper impact. It might lead to the old path where one goes back to being old self or worse still, it may transforms you into a new being which breaks the chain of past connections only to kick off a new beginning.
