that a beetle is happy in its matchbox until you take it out. Once you take it out it doesn’t want to go back in.

I believe this was an interesting analogy for people outgrowing their relationships and their lives and going through new experiences. For instance a housewife who has spent the last 18 years devoted to her husband and children suddenly starts a new job or takes a course. I started to wonder what my matchbox is or has been in the past? Am i allowing myself to become trapped by my past experiences and fears? I believe I am and its about time I started pushing myself.
