Hide & Seek

Wouldn't it be better to face your problems than have them chase you down?
I'd assume so. It only makes sense.

Actually confronting your problems, putting in the effort to resolve or even eviscerate them from your life provides a strong, legitimate sense of closure or rekindle.
While being a pussy and either running away, hiding or ignoring the issue(s) always finds its almost deliberate way of coming back to you.
Why? It's simple... Memories.

With good, there is bad... But for some reason, people are more scared of working on building a solid substratum for a relationship based on the Good, than trying to completely avoid that by basing an escape on the (mostly minor) Bad.

It's like a battle of the hearts. A dance, rather.
And frankly, it really does take two to tango.
(Not one putting in the most effort while the other...
really only reciprocates in an effort to avoid having to put in any effort.)
