Leaving is hard, isn’t it? Be it leaving the person you are in love with even though staying is killing you or leaving a place that is full of people who love you yet staying with them because it’s comfortable. Leaving an old belief that holds you back or leaving self-doubts.

No matter what it is you are holding onto, leaving always feels tough, and heart-breaking even if it’s killing you slowly day by day.

How is it possible that something so toxic can be comfortable to us?

I have spent most of my life wondering, ‘How can people stay in toxic relationships? Why do people not change into a good person for themselves?

I guess Shakespeare was right when he said, “Everyone can master a grief but he that has it”.

Why Leaving Is Hard?

It’s easy for me to sit here behind the screen and give you a checklist of what you should and shouldn’t do to live a better life. The Internet is loaded with advice, tips, and hacks. Everyone has something to say.
