Many believe they need to close a chapter before opening a new one. They see closure as a washing away and they don’t allow themselves to move on until what is preventing them from moving on has completely dissolved. I believe closure is having the ability to transition, walking after that crippling event or relationship. Closure then is courage.

Closure doesn’t have to mean forgetting about or erasing memories.
The events that have happened to us, the relationships we have been through, they are valuable. To hope they didn’t happen or push them away is not closure. That is denial. Closure means to accept, learn from, but most importantly begin again.

Closure means to walk and it is a bridge, not a door.
