I Stopped Needing the Past to Make Sense Before I Could Move On

Dear Delyara, For years I thought I had to fully understand the past before I could begin leaving it behind. Why did they do that? Why did I stay? Why didn’t I know better? Why did I need what I needed? Why did I ignore what I felt? I kept circling questions as if clarity alone would heal me. Now I’m beginning to understand that full explanation is not always available. Some things stay partly unresolved. Some people never tell the truth. Some pain remains complicated even after years of reflection. I no longer need perfect understanding in order to choose peace. That feels like a quiet freedom.
