Wishing I could just have closure, but I guess sometimes we don't always get to have that.
Closure happens right after you ACCEPT that letting go and moving on is more important than projecting a fantasy of how the relationship could have been.

Usually when one person is holding out for closure after someone else has broken up with them, it’s because they are still trying to hold onto the relationship.

Unfortunately I failed miserably this weekend -- attempted to contact my ex a couple of times -- of course, no response from him.
This is when you hear the saying – let go or be dragged. Don’t keep hurting and disappointing yourself.

You can’t look to the person who hurt you in the first place and expect them to heal you and make you feel better, that’s not going to happen.

It stinks, I know and it hurts but the longer we prolong that hurt, keep that hurt alive we cannot heal.
