Your eloquent expression of some deep truths reminds me Anais Nin's poetic wisdom.....
the fear of change and the unknown can be so gripping that it paralyzes us in which direction to move, or we may not move at all because it is easier to stay in an environment that is not healthy and perhpaps could even be down right toxic and disempowering. I liken this to a flower remaining tightly in the bud and never blooming.
