For a long time, I thought closure was something I needed in order to move forward.
A conversation.
An apology.
An explanation that made everything make sense.
But life doesn’t always offer that.
Some stories don’t wrap up neatly.
Some questions stay unanswered.
Some endings come without the clarity we hoped for.
And waiting for closure can quietly turn into waiting on life to begin again.
Lately, I’ve been realizing that I don’t have to wait for everything to make sense before I keep living.
I don’t need every loose end tied.
I don’t need a final chapter before I turn the page.
There’s a different kind of peace that comes from accepting what is —
from releasing the need to understand it all
and choosing to move forward anyway.
Not because it didn’t matter.
But because I matter too.
So I’m not waiting for closure.
I’m choosing presence.
I’m choosing the next right step.
I’m choosing to live fully in the middle — even if some things remain unfinished.
And that feels like freedom.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
— Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV)
