We tend to cling to the pain of a given situation, we hold on tight because we fear change or loneliness, the idea of letting go is hardly an easy task because that would mean we have to give up on the feeling of being loved, being needed or even wanted just for a moment, give up the attention we crave, we strive on emotional connections, all it takes is that one good memory that keeps us holding on through all the other painful experiences, its that fear that even though we are barely happy in the situation, at least that person has stuck by our side, we feel we are not worth better and stronger love, we feel our demons are too dark for any other person to ever accept, we lack confidence in our expectations, and most times we get so lost in another we fail to remember ourselves, but we hold on tight because we are too afraid to try anything new.

We Fear the Unknown. ~Will Rivera
