Closure

Is it ready to be closed?

Closure is what I seek when I want a chapter to end. This can be applied to either something naturally closing, or something that I want to move away from.

Closure isn’t just about ‘closing’ something (e.g. finishing a project, or saying goodbye). To me, closure is the feeling of bookending something, keeping it contained, clean and simple.

Things that have a naturally ending are the easy closures. It’s clean and simple.

The things where you need to actively pursue to close are the messy ones. It’s far from clean and simple. It’s more likely to be hard and tiring. You want it to close but it’s not ready to be closed. No matter hard you try, it’s still opened just a little. Like a fridge with a juice box carton that’s propping it opened.

In these scenarios, you have two paths:
1) Adjust and close
2) Reconsider — is it ready to be closed?

Is it truly ready to be closed? Or, is it you forcing the fridge to be closed? Is the situation ready?
