Closure

It is huge. Something that doesn't often get talked about anymore I have found, but for me and for many I believe it is on the must haves list in life.

Tonight I got a bit of unexpected closure and it felt great. Having the chance to say ones piece and be heard is essential for mental health I feel.

Even if a situation is sad beyond belief and hurts and feels terrible in the extreme, having that last conversation, even one that might lead to other conversations (this being unknown, but an unknown that one can actually swallow as opposed to not knowing in general i.e. no closure) is so healing and helpful to the mind and thus the body.

I felt instantly better and though the situation is still sticky and not at all what I ideally would have wanted, it is at least something that I can wrap my head around after tonight.

Why is it so important that we have the chance to be heard? Why is it so essential that we get to express those feelings to that one person, not just venting to friends, talking with loved ones about the ins and outs of the whole business, but that one person - the one you have had conflict with that really matters? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I know in my core that it is necessary and I am thankful that I had that chance.
