HAVE YOU EVER STAYED IN A RELATIONSHIP JUST SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE REGRETS? It sounds reasonable, noble, even. To stay, just to be sure. To leave no what-ifs behind. But sometimes, the pursuit of "no regrets" only leads to different ones. You stay a little longer, hoping for clarity. You hold on, hoping it'll feel right again. But deep down, you already know what's missing. You're not staying for love, you're staying out of fear. Fear of hurting them. Fear of starting over. Fear of waking up one day and wondering if you gave up too soon. But the truth is, regret is inevitable either way. The difference is, one path holds peace. The other just delays the pain. So don't stay just to avoid regret. Stay because it still feels right. Because you still see a future. Because you still choose each other. You'll regret staying. You'll regret leaving. But only one of them sets you free.
