Resilience in the Storm

Amidst the tempest's howling song,

A woman's journey is brave and strong.

In the storm's grip, she finds her way,

With courage as her guiding ray.

Raindrops weep from the heavens high,

But she won't let her spirit sigh.

With every step, she's unafraid,

A fire within, her soul portrayed.

Winds may roar and thunder clash,

Yet she remains a beacon's flash.

Her path is hidden, but she'll see,

A road to hope, where hearts roam free.

In the chaos, she's not adrift,

Through life's tempest, her spirit will lift.

With strength and grace, she'll march ahead,

The storm will yield, and she'll be led.

Dark clouds may gather, lightning strike,

But in her heart, a steadfast spike.

She's the woman who braves the night,

Guided by her inner light so bright.

The Truth is, You Don’t Need Closure

Cut ties and move on without glancing back… Image via Unsplash What did I do? What did I say? What could I have done differently? Is there someone else? Can we still be friends? Can we fix this? We torture ourselves with questions when a relationship ends. We want to know the answers. We want to know why. We want to make sense of what we don’t understand. Yes, closure can help. It can bridge the gap between confusion and heartbreak. It guides us to accept the loss and find the strength to look ahead. With closure, we realize there is no turning back. There are no what-ifs. No second chance. The other person has made up their mind for the reason of x, y, and z. As much as it hurts, closure can help us turn the page and start a new chapter. But what happens if you don’t get closure? What do you do when your ex won’t communicate or has abruptly ended all contact with you? Just one day, poof — they're gone.
