Staying is a choice too. Make sure you’re choosing it, not just defaulting to it.

Remaining somewhere gets treated as the neutral option, the thing that happens when no decision is made. It carries the same weight as leaving; it just never has to be announced or defended. Years can pass inside a default that was never actually chosen.

Ask why you are still here and see whether an answer arrives. If you find a real one, the staying becomes yours and feels different immediately; if you do not, that is worth knowing too.
