From a very young age Mother always encouraged me to be sure to close the one door prior to opening up the next. It was important to negate the inevitable overlap by firm closure of the previous.
This philosophical rule of thumb is completely applicable to so many, if not all aspects in Life.
It is tempting to leave the door cracked, albeit even slightly, just in case. The ambiguity of the "just in case" compels us to do the unthinkable and even act uncharacteristically due to the fact that closure is not just represented in the physical form of the door, but also in the mental, psychological and emotional forms within ourselves.
Sometimes the reciprocal approach to the "just in case" theory provides us with a very false sense of hope in that a reconciliation can be accomplished.
For the sake of our own sanity, we need to take the bull by the horns and draw a conclusion to the madness that permeates around our existence by allowing the lingering to continue to linger.
The emotional toll that it can take on you is painstakingly exhausting and not worthy of you expending your time and positive energy on. Your time is yours, whilst you still have it. The depletion of your energy is worthy of replenishing, not diminishing.
In order for the new to begin, the old has to be completed. Do not wait for someone else to officially draw a conclusion to what needs to be closed. Sometimes the onus is squarely on our own shoulders.
At that point we need to tell ourselves, "It's Gonna Be Me."
