I realized that a lot of my need for closure was rooted in ego. I didn't want to think someone could just disrespect me and see me as disposable but the reality is, they did..

But that doesn't mean I have to internalize how they feel about me.

I had to reconcile with the fact that people can do me dirty and not feel an ounce of remorse. That they will move on with their life. That they may move on and lead a good, happy life at that.

But so can I.

Just as they move on, so can I. I take their disrespect for my final answer, accept it for what it is, and move the fuck along.

Harping on shit--overthinking shit and staying in the past was only hurting me.

Letting go of my ego has helped me in my healing process. Accepting that people will see me how they want to. People will treat me however they want to but I don't have to internalize their perceptions of me or put up with their disrespect.
