I don’t believe in closure.
Only that we learn to deal with the pain and troubles, and we are able to integrate them into our daily lives. I think it gets to a point where even though it’s still there, you come to terms with yourself in the sense that if you continue to over-dwell on it, it won’t do you any good. So you accept whatever the situation is as it is, and even though it still bothers the heck out of you, you try to press on with life. Feelings don’t go away—they might evolve and re-shape itself, but it’s still there. The hurt from years ago? It’s still there. It won’t ever disappear, no matter how badly I wish it to. Accepting the situation and moving on isn’t really closure to me—closure is when the source of the problem is resolved the best way possible. But that doesn’t happen often.
