Celebrating Closures

It is amazing how things work out. I knew I had to work with closure as a theme for the week but I wasn’t comfortable. Last night as I sat to make my poster, it dawned upon me the need to celebrate closures. I got up in the morning still uncertain, (dilemma of a writer). Somehow the word closure was troubling me and then I went back and saw the poster I had made yesterday.

It said, “Every day of your life is a special occasion” This year has been especially hard. All of us undergo a lot of hardships at some point in time,  but this year was hard on all of us. Maybe that is why a wave of empathy like never before has struck in the hearts of many people.

Be it support for migrant population, with food, transportation, travel kit, or whatever one could afford or arrange platelet donations for COVID patients, we saw people lining up to do their bit.

In a time where some people couldn’t even say proper goodbyes to their loved ones, achieving closure is one of the hardest things. People who have lost their jobs, homes, loved ones would probably still be struggling with closures.

The truth of the matter is, closures take time. The state of being able to put something behind you so that you can move on takes strength and time. Give yourself time. You need it because you need time to heal yourself.

But celebrate your milestones, on your path to healing is the fastest way of moving on. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small they feel. Share your achievement no matter how irrelevant they look, celebrate your success when everyone around you tells you otherwise. This is the fastest way to reach your destination.

Tomorrow on Instagram Live, we talk about how does closure work or is closure really required?
