staying because there is potential for friendship, something untapped that would benefit everyone. but staying because it's easy and this is a redeeming quality of a place that otherwise smothers is not .. beneficial.
stifled by not
defining your absence
ironically, many of the people that make you want to leave are the ones you can never fully detach yourself from. But is leaving bc there is potential in multiple places .. where happiness is a possibility and comfort/simplicity is a guarantee ..is not detaching yourself from a claustrophobic obligation simply rerouting it to another catalyst?
really what i am saying is that unless you go somewhere for yourself, and only yourself, you will eventually, inevitably become unhappy. (clearly.)
is the only way to find self-happiness to abandon people you love? and in this abandonment do we find that love is worth it only if you have come back to it more happy, un-stifled, than when you left it?
walking away from people because the happiness they provide is perishable is love also.
love is preserving the perishable so that the finite qualities of people cement themselves in us.
do we free ourselves by preserving the finite from a distance?
and is this love also?
