A comfort zone is the space we get in that causes us to feel good. It is also a lazy space that can keep us stuck or think we are stuck.

It can also keep us in a place of thinking. It is truly a keep-out zone. It is masked with laziness. It is the place that has the yellow tape around it that says do not enter.

It is the place where trauma, hurt and pain and heartache, and depression lives. Comfort can be defined as a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary.

But what can comfort truly and physically resemble? Comfort can resemble being overweight. Comfort can resemble being reclusive. Comfort can resemble depression. Sometimes the place’s comfort keeps us in a place or situation for too long.
