that crucial first move, thanks for making it @jillaquino! , a photo by theminordetail on Flickr.
At some point, we become quite content with what or who we have.
We resist to put in effort to get to know someone more, to be more human than human. We justify it to ourselves: all I already have is all I really need.
Part-arrogance, part-defense; we remember what it feels to be left behind. We try to keep it from happening again. We want to be "wiser"; we want to be the "leaver", not the "leftee".
But today, somebody wise told me, take a chance on someone because somebody else is taking a chance on you.
