When people turn to stone from the inside
How are you all? I hope you are trying to keep yourself well despite all the busyness and troubles of life. We see many different types of people around us, right? Some are cheerful, some are cool, and some are slightly more difficult. Well, have you ever thought that a cheerful person we know suddenly becomes so calm and difficult? The reason behind this is very simple, but its impact is very deep. When time and neglect hit together, every person turns to stone from the inside.

Neglect is not created in a day. It is more like dust that accumulates slowly. Not getting a little importance from a loved one, not having someone by your side when you need it, or having your feelings repeatedly ignored—these are the small moments that give rise to neglect. At first, it may be painful, you feel proud, and people wait. Thinking, ‘Today or tomorrow everything will be fine.’
But this is where ‘time’ starts its real game. When this neglect continues day after day, month after month, time no longer applies ointment to the wound, but rather deepens the wound. The wait that was once filled with hope, time slowly kills it. Then a person begins to understand that his pride has no value, that his absence does not create a void in anyone's life. This realization begins to break a person from within.
And from this breaking begins the process of turning into stone. It is actually an attempt to save himself. When the mind gets tired of being hurt again and again, it puts up a wall around itself. This wall makes him look hard from the outside, making him as emotionless as a stone. Then small words no longer hurt, and big explosions do not bring tears to the eyes. Then the person learns to walk alone, because he knows that at the end of the day, no one will accept his own shadow. His smile is no longer as alive as before, and his words are also measured.

In fact, this stone is an armor that prevents him from getting hurt again. Therefore, when we see the people around us who have become 'stones', instead of doing justice, we should try to think how much time and how much time and how much neglect has forced them to become like this. A little love and attention may be able to protect someone from becoming a stone.
That's it for today. May everyone be well.
