Fantastic post on the Tiny Buddha blog about “How to Move on When You’re Hurt and You’re Waiting for Closure". The author, Maria
Moraca has a great job explaining the need we have for closure and how that
perceived need can hold us back from moving on. This is exactly how I feel
about Chap, I keep hanging on to the idea that I’m owed a more formal apology
and want vindication for the way in which he shorted me in our time
together. She also provides actionable steps
to help let go of the need for closure and to find closure on your own.
I can’t help but be reminded on the scene in
the latest Wolverine movie where the evil mutant doctor implants a robotic
spider that sucks Wolverine’s super power to heal out of him. In an attempt to
save his own life from the robotic life-sucker, Wolverine reaches into his
chest and painfully extracts the intruder from his heart. This is akin to how I feel about Chap, that I need to forcibly extract him from my heart
before I incur any more damage.
