I was sheltered growing up and this was both a blessing and a curse. I was very naiive about bad things and bad people.
I see people mull over potential loss and big life changes for a very long time due to the uncertainty it brings, they seem to have a knowing I don’t.
What held me back were things like doubting my analysis of a situation, my over developed commitment bone, unhealthy ideas about love, and my codependent nature to look after everyone else first.
I never worried about the future, either way I thought I would be ok.
I watch people who are afraid to take the first step towards change because of the uncertainty of what’s ahead of them.
They are choosing unhappiness over uncertainty.
Thank goodness for my own naivety. It got me into bad situations, but it also got me out. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
