agency

i guess agency in ourselves constrains certain things. i really can't see how something or someone is constrained but is enabled at the same time. i guess if its enabled it has certain aspects of constraint.  Agency is an escape from the limits imposed on us so being constrained and enabled in a way go hand in hand in this metaphor. Your enabled to escape, because you want to get way from the imposed constraint. Agency I think has both these subjects in its category. I think one can escape from presupposed imprisonment because they are enabled to do so. When one is constrained they want to find a way or enable themselves to escape. when your stuck in a nowhere relationship what is the point of sticking around. i personally leave this type of situation because it feels like your in a position you don't want to be in. instead of working things out, which sometimes takes a long time, one escapes or is enabled to get out of the situation. i think when one is in a nowhere relationship agency helps the person recognize the situation. in a way agency puts what one is feeling in perspective.
