💋 PINK AURA DIARIES PRESENTS GOT MY SPARK BACK Part 5: I Stopped Chasing Closure and Started Choosing Myself

There comes a point when you realize that closure isn’t something you receive — it’s something you claim.

For a long time, I thought peace would come once I finally understood why things happened the way they did. I waited for conversations that never came. Apologies that stayed locked inside other people’s pride. Explanations that would magically make the hurt make sense.

But the truth is, clarity doesn’t always arrive wrapped in answers.

Sometimes it arrives the moment you decide you’ve had enough of reopening wounds that never healed properly in the first place.

That’s when I realized something important: I didn’t need closure.
I needed self-respect.

And those two things are not the same.

There’s a quiet power in choosing yourself without needing validation. In walking away without demanding understanding. In allowing something to end without trying to rewrite it into something softer, safer, or more digestible.

Because not everything that hurts deserves a post-mortem.

Some experiences are meant to be released, not analyzed.

When I stopped chasing closure, I noticed something shift. My energy changed. My focus sharpened. I stopped living in the past and started reclaiming my present. I stopped waiting for people to meet me where I was and started meeting myself there instead.

That’s when peace stopped feeling like a fantasy and started feeling like a choice.

Choosing yourself doesn’t always feel empowering at first. Sometimes it feels lonely. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels like you’re walking away from something unfinished.

But what you’re actually walking toward is alignment.

You’re choosing to stop bleeding in places that never learned how to hold you gently. You’re choosing to stop proving your worth to people who were never equipped to recognize it.

That’s not avoidance — that’s maturity.

And once you make that choice, something incredible happens.

You stop replaying old conversations.
You stop searching for signs.
You stop wondering what you could’ve done differently.

Because you realize that your peace is worth more than answers that won’t change anything.

This is the moment you stop looking backward and start moving forward — not with bitterness, but with clarity.

You don’t need closure to heal.
You need permission to move on.

And the moment you give yourself that permission, everything shifts.
