Mic on. Let’s go.
You keep waiting for the explanation.
The apology. The phone call. The answer that finally makes everything make sense.
But what if it never comes?
In this episode of Zero Distortion, we look at why we sometimes make our ability to move forward dependent on someone else giving us “closure” – and why that can keep us stuck long after they’ve moved on.
Sometimes we say we want closure when what we really want is a different ending.
You may never get every answer you deserve. You may never get the apology. And you may never completely understand why someone did what they did.
But you don’t have to keep waiting.
Closure isn’t always a conversation. Sometimes it’s a decision.
