closure [clo·sure]

n.
1. the act of closing; the state of being closed.
2. a bringing to an end; conclusion.

3. a sense of psychological certainty or completeness.

my energies last year were spent looking for closure. i needed a chapter of my life closed, done, finished. so i tried searching. in vain i tried searching, waiting and it never arrived. a few times i thought i had it, only to realise it quickly disappeared.

and then, i stopped searching. instead, i started (unknowingly) writing the next chapter of my life. and it was only last night that i realised i'd unwittingly received the closure that just the previous year i'd been aching for. i'd received it long ago and didn't even notice. and yet, here i was again, battling another chapter of life requiring closure..

so i'm thinking, is life just a constant series of beginnings and endings?

because if it is, i like it.
