There’s a strange kind of peace that comes when you stop searching for the answers you’ll never get. I spent so much time replaying the past, trying to make sense of things that would never make sense, waiting for an explanation that would never come. But one day, I just decided to let go—not because I got the closure I deserved, but because I realized I didn’t need it to move forward. The weight of unanswered questions, the ache of what-ifs, and the longing for understanding all faded when I chose to release them. It wasn’t about forgiving or forgetting; it was about freeing myself from the chains of a past that no longer served me.
Now, I walk lighter. The silence that used to feel unbearable has turned into something comforting, a space where I can finally hear myself think without the echoes of old pain. There’s no more waiting, no more wondering—just the quiet acceptance that some things will never be resolved, and that’s okay. The peace I once thought would come from closure actually came from within, from choosing myself over the past. Letting go wasn’t easy, but staying stuck was harder. And in that surrender, I found the freedom I had been searching for all along.
