DeadEnd

“I’m stubborn…even though it’s never worked in my favor. But my resistance remains because it helps distract me from my perceived sense of helplessness. So I still do the opposite of what I feel is expected…as often as possible. Even when what’s expected…is growth. Because most growth requires me to leave behind what I’m used to. And that scares me…so I end up fighting to keep what feels familiar. Which has never not taken me down roads…that kill all opportunities of forward movement. I keep coming to these dead ends…expecting them to open up and lead me somewhere else. But that won’t happen because they’re designed…to take me back to where I’ve already been.”
