⚱️
What ⚱️ means
A golden urn with a tapering structure from the top to the bottom, holding a couple of ringed designs and a curved lid at the start. The ⚱️ Funeral Urn indicates the ashes of the dead; hence, symbolizing memory, tribute, respect, and maybe the inability to let go as well.
How and when to use it
- If you're referring to something that starts off great only to crash in a huge disappointment, ⚱️ is your pal. Like, "The job was literally just dust and ashes after a point ⚱️".
- While interacting in a conversation that's about an uncomfortable past, or even while uploading a post/repost with a caption resonating with the same, bring in the vase. For example, "I rake over the ashes ⚱️ hoping I'd never have to live in the present" or "Let the past go. It's contaminating to rake over the ashes ⚱️".
- Ashes, as a concept, is not always depressing and sad. It could be positive too. Here's an example, "It's alright if it kills you. You'll rise stronger from your own ashes ⚱️".
- While sharing a repost of respect or a tribute post for a legend who passed, you may use ⚱️. For instance, "You're gone. But your magic will always live on ⚱️" or "My heart is too small for you. You're meant to live everywhere even after you're gone ⚱️".
