You cannot wait for someone’s apology as your permission slip to move on.⁣⁣
—A compassionate & firm reminder for those left without closure.

Sometimes—and this is a hard truth that someone out there may be ready to integrate—that apology never comes.⁣

Yes, it would be great if they at least recognized how much pain they put you through. But you cannot continue putting your life on hold, waiting for something that may never come. ⁣⁣

The more you continue to live with the “what could be,” the less you are able to finally surrender to the reality of “what is” and, with grace, begin moving forward.

Here’s some good news & a little known fact:⁣⁣

You don’t need somebody else to reach closure within yourself. ⁣⁣

You don’t need to wait for them before you start giving your heart the care and attention it badly needs right now (really).⁣⁣

And let’s face it: nothing they say can make the hurt just magically disappear.

You deserve someone that actually take care of you: you.
