Maturing is realizing that you don’t always need that final conversation to find closure. In the past, you may have convinced yourself that a last exchange of words, an apology, or some form of understanding would give you the peace you’ve been craving. But the truth is, yung mga kasinungalingan nila, yung kawalan ng respeto, at yung hindi nila pag-aako ng pagkakamali — yun na yung closure na hindi mo na kailangan pang hanapin. The closure isn’t in the talk you’re waiting for, but in the actions you’ve already seen.
At some point, you stop searching for explanations that won’t come. You stop waiting for the "why" that’ll never make sense. You realize that peace is not something someone else can give you; it’s something you choose to take back by walking away, even when it feels hard. Ang closure ay hindi isang bagay na ibibigay nila sayo, kundi isang aral na ikaw na lang ang makakapagbigay sa sarili mo.
You stop giving them the power to keep you stuck in a chapter of your life that no longer serves you. Hindi mo na kailangan ng validation o paumanhin mula sa kanila. Hindi mo na sila kailangan bigyan pa ng oras at lakas. You learn that your worth is not tied to how they treated you, and their mistakes are theirs to own. The more you understand this, the more you free yourself from the chains of what ifs and maybes.
The closure you seek was never in their words, but in the lessons you learned and the strength you gained in the process. And now, as you move forward, you’re not carrying the weight of their mistakes anymore. You’re walking lighter, more empowered, and more aware of the kind of energy you deserve.
