Stagnancy. It may not seem like it, but this is one of the most detrimental life holds: to live in complacency.

To be guided by what becomes the “predictable shittyness” of our life — sacrificing the possibility of “what if” for the known.

Don’t get me wrong. Stability and predictability can be wonderful and in some cases necessary, but those are not synonymous with stagnancy.

Stagnancy is the protective and avoidant choice we make to stay in our comfort zones, protecting ourselves against ambiguity and fear.
