We don't, not really... its like an inbuild reaction we have. There is an old saying better the devil ya know, then the devil ya don't.

I guess it all comes down to not believing our own worth.
But even knowning that doesn't really help at times.
It seems like its 2 steps forwards and three steps back.

Anyways don't give up, you're not alone.

Thanks HD~
Yes, it does seem a relentless struggle of 2 forward and 3 back, yet that isn't enough to deliver surrender. Although sometimes there are those moments which do stare me directly in the face and dare me to surrender. I refuse that, which depicts my character of the survivor.

It's comforting to know that there are other's out there who can relate to the journey. It makes the struggle seemingly not as lonely.
Thanks so much for offering your support. I appreciate it.

(Love your quote, btw)
