“Closure Is a Myth. Choose Peace Instead.”

Letting go without needing the final conversation

Let’s have an honest moment. How many times have you said:

“If I could just talk to them one more time...”
“If I could just understand why they left…”
“If they could just explain, then I’d be able to move on.”

I get it. I’ve been there. I’ve stayed up at night writing the perfect text, the perfect goodbye speech—believing that closure was the missing piece.

But here’s the thing no one really tells you:
Closure is a myth. And most of the time, it keeps us stuck.

We think we’re chasing clarity, but what we’re really chasing is control.
We want to understand because understanding feels safer than admitting they made a choice that we didn’t agree to.

But the truth is, some people won’t give you closure because they can’t.
Not emotionally. Not honestly. Not without rewriting the story to make themselves feel better.

Devon waited months for a conversation that never came. He kept rereading texts, hoping to crack the code. Eventually, he realized: the silence was the answer. It wasn’t that they didn’t know how to explain—it’s that they didn’t care enough to try.

And that realization? As painful as it was, that was closure. Not a conversation. Not an apology. Just the acceptance that someone chose to walk away—and that’s all you need to know.

Closure is not something they give you. It’s something you create.
It’s the quiet moment when you finally decide: “I’m done explaining. I’m done replaying. I’m choosing peace over answers.”

Letting go without the final word is hard. But it's also healing. Because you stop waiting for someone else to release you—and you start setting yourself free.

So let me ask you:
What would it look like if you stopped chasing closure and started claiming peace?
