You Are Not Broken Quotes

“You don’t want closure. You want them to make it make sense. You want it to hurt less. And maybe you want to see if there’s even the tiniest chance they’ll change their mind. But here’s the harsh truth: If they cared, they would’ve already given you the clarity you’re begging for. Closure isn't about a final conversation. It's about a final decision. It's you choosing to stop giving them space in your mind. It's you accepting that they may never say what you wanted to hear. And that even if they did, it probably wouldn't change anything. Here’s what really happens in those final conversations: You walk in with hope and leave with more questions. You end up arguing about the same things that broke you in the first place. You say too much, or not enough, and you replay it for days. You get sucked back into the drama, even if just for a night.”
