I No Longer Need Every Door to Be Open

Dear Delyara, There was a time when every closed door felt like a personal rejection from life. Now I understand something different. Not every closed door is punishment. Not every delay is abandonment. Not every silence means I am alone in the process. Sometimes not knowing is part of becoming. Sometimes things close because I am being redirected, not denied. I do not say that from certainty. I say it from surviving enough unanswered seasons to recognize a pattern I could not see while panicking inside them.
