The Reason

Why do we stay in unhealthy relationships? We may look at others around us and either think we’re doing better than them or think that maybe we’ll let others down. But why do we stay? Have we seen others successfully break free before it’s too late? Or do we just have the mentality of “Things will work out, because we love each other.”

Like the song says, nobody wants to be lonely…right?

Why do we cover our hurt? We surround ourselves with like minded thoughts for a sense of normalcy. We pick up habits whether harmful or helpful to ease the pain we face. We reflect on how we’re doing, we may even say “It’s not that bad, I’ll be okay.” Yet we still hurt. Where are the men and women who we can openly go to unashamed about for our struggles? The people who will share with us sound wisdom and help uplift us and not judge us? It gets harder and harder to find those and to even be secure enough to share and learn.

What are the intentions?

Therapy is cool, but sometimes we just need our reason. The meaning to fill in the void of why we stay or why we go. If there’s a sound reason, hopefully we choose what gives us the best love and light. But honestly, why do we stay when we should go? What voice is calling us to answer and act the most?

Is there any value?

When introspection happens, reality can set in. When life gives us consequences over choice, do we then take the time to listen. What is the best route? Through all the thrills and chills, do we stay to fight or do we choose our sense of self and sanity…are we even able to tell the difference? Once we self-reflect and choose love for self, our thoughts, our feelings, and our logic can begin to align with what is real and what is for show. Hopefully we’ll know the reason and hopefully by then, our reason will lead to what is whole and what is healing.
