In life, not every chapter ends with a full stop—some simply fade, making way for the next. An African adage says, “When the wind blows, some trees bend, but the strong ones stand tall.” You don’t need closure to move forward.
Some situations are meant to stay in the past, no matter how much we try to fix them. Don’t lose yourself chasing after what was never meant to be whole. True strength comes from knowing when to let go.
Inner peace begins the moment you take a deep breath and decide not to let anyone or anything control your thoughts. You are not defined by what happened to you—you are shaped by what you choose to do next.
So breathe. Release the weight. And step into this moment with renewed purpose. The future is waiting, and it starts now.
