How do these roses seem to you? How are they different? How are they similar? How does the thought bubble make you feel?

Sometimes my thoughts are so thorny that I’m not even sure what I’m thinking. My brain drains my energy and steals all the thorns from my stem, making it that much harder for me to protect myself.

How are your thoughts like a tangle of brambles? When do you find it difficult to establish good boundaries and blossom in full color?
