We convince ourselves that we need closure. That we need an explanation, an apology, a final conversation to help us move on.
But the truth is, closure is a lie.
Most of the time, you will never get the answers you want. They will never explain why they hurt you, why they left, why they changed. They will never admit to the things they did, never take responsibility, never give you the apology you deserve.
And even if they did, would it really change anything? Would it undo the pain? Would it make what they did okay?
No.
Because closure doesn't come from them—it comes from you.
It comes from accepting that some people will never give you the truth. That some people will never care enough to make things right. That some situations will never have a neat, satisfying ending.
It comes from choosing to move on anyway. From deciding that you are no longer going to wait for an apology that may never come. From understanding that you don't need them to give you peace—you can give it to yourself.
So stop looking for closure in people who don't deserve it. Stop waiting for the perfect goodbye. Stop expecting the past to explain itself.
Let it go. Move forward. Find peace in the fact that you don't need closure. You just need to choose yourself.
