The author reflects on a part of his heart that once brimmed with emotion and vitality, filled with the joy of art and creativity. He describes this emotional chamber as inactive now, a result of his own decision to shut it down. This closure stems from common reasons people suppress their feelings, leading to a numb existence devoid of inspiration or passion.

Despite the heaviness of this self-imposed pact, he acknowledges that maintaining this emotional barrier allows him to manage daily life without overwhelming despair. The contrast highlights a struggle between the desire to feel deeply and the fear of vulnerability that comes with reopening those previously cherished sentiments.
