What is to come.

Things happen. And more often than not, in my experience, they're not pleasant things. But you stay rooted, suffer in silence, and put up with whatever it is.

Why do we do this? Intentionally put ourselves through a miserable time, blotting out our escape options just for us to continue the way we are, getting more and more stressed.

It's because we're scared of what comes next. Reluctant to walk into the unknown.

We can be told that we can move forward, and we can recognise this truth, but we still don't do anything. It's never as simple as simple as "you can change this, so do it." We will put ourselves through so much pain simply because we are too frightened to see what comes next.
