Self Preservation

In the absense of the Gallery this week, I've decided to use You're Beautiful as a prompter.
a·loof (-lf)

adj.

Distant physically or emotionally; reserved and remote: stood apart with aloof dignity.

adv.

At a distance but within view; apart.

Sometimes is comes as a part of a mending process from a difficult time.

Sometimes is comes from finding out the the order of things isn't quite they way you thought they were, that things you thought had changed probably haven't and probably never will. The distance is part of coming to terms with it.

Sometimes it is simply self preservation.
