There was a time when this would have unsettled me.
When I would have needed clarity, reassurance, or at least a conversation to soften the edges.
But I don’t need that anymore.
I understand what this is.
I understand what it isn’t.
And I no longer confuse peace with unfinished business.
Some things don’t require closure to feel complete.
They only need honesty and the willingness to stop reaching.
I let go of the urge to fix it with words.
To reinterpret it into something gentler.
To make it more comfortable than it actually was.
Acceptance didn’t arrive loudly.
It settled in quietly.
Like a decision that didn’t need to be announced.
I’m not angry about it.
I’m not grieving it.
I’m not waiting for it to change.
I’m okay with this.
Not because it’s ideal.
But because it’s clear.
Final Thought: Peace Without Permission
Being okay doesn’t mean you didn’t care.
It means you cared enough to stop resisting what already is.
