Closure Is A Scam
Manage episode 513538899 series 3683145
Every heartbreak has two endings. The one where he finally explains, apologizes, or says the thing you’ve been waiting to hear. And the one that actually frees you, the one where you realize you don’t need any of that to move on. This episode is about that second ending, the one you write yourself.
There were the long-text apologies that felt like relief for a minute, the “I’ve changed” reruns that rebooted my hope, the fake accountability that sounded deep but led nowhere. I chased closure like it was proof I mattered, waiting for a version of the story that would make it all make sense. But closure doesn’t live in his explanations. It lives in your decision to stop reading between the lines of messages that already told you enough.
What ties these stories together isn’t resentment, it’s release. Real closure isn’t cinematic. It’s quiet. It’s deleting the thread, blocking the number, and telling your friends the new standard. It’s choosing peace over clarity and letting boredom, not drama, be the bridge to detachment.
Letting go doesn’t mean you stopped caring. It means you finally stopped negotiating your own peace. And that’s not petty. That’s power.
