Why Do We Stay?

Why do people stay? Stay in relationships that are unhealthy...Stay at jobs that make us unhappy...Stay in our depression...Stay stuck in a life that we dont really love. The truth is that we fear the unknown. We know there is better out there but we are scared to take the journey to find it. We are content when we should be risky. We settle for safe when we should strive for spontaneous. We hold on when all we really want to do is let go. We try to change people instead of helping ourselves grow. We dream but never really take the leap. We complain but never fix. We settle rather than work harder. People need people, they need something to hold on to. So, Why Do People Stay? Because leaving means being alone. It means being lost. But I think so many of us are lost in our lives now. Having someone in the room with you doesnt keep you from being alone. Why are you staying? Especially when your heart is already gone...?
