I am torn
Between the life I want
And the life I am accustomed to
I can’t seem to choose
Happiness or safety?
What I need
Or what I already know?

Benjamin Franklin said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” As is often true with Franklin, the quote makes several points. What’s relevant here is that safety is temporary.
A century later, Benjamin Disraeli said, “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.”
Franklin also famously said, “Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.”
The tradeoff in the poem is between something uncertain and something that it is certain you cannot keep.
Does that make the decision easier?

Choose what makes you happy. You will never regret it. If it goes wrong, you know you did what made you happy at one moment.
PoojaG

Believing in yourself is the key to a good decision and learning to trust your instincts and to base your decision on what your heart tells. Your heart will not betray you.
