But it's hard to leave a place when you're tied to it by fear, when it's broken you with fear, when it's all you've ever known.

About This Quote

This quote is about the danger of staying in a place that is hurting you. You can be held captive by fear, which prevents you from leaving. The fear may be the fear of the unknown, like when getting out on your own for the first time. It can also be caused by pain and grief, like when you are hurt inside.

The key to overcoming this fear is to find a way to let go of the hurt. Once you have let go, your feet can move forward without any restraint.
