You don’t need an apology to move on. It’s nice, but it isn’t required.
STILLNESS
STILLNESS
Waiting for someone to admit what they did hands them control over when you are allowed to feel better. Some people never arrive there, and not always out of cruelty; often they simply remember it differently. An apology would help, and it is still not the thing that frees you. You can begin moving on without their cooperation.
If you have been waiting, name what you would do next if the apology never came. Then do one small piece of it this week. Leave the door open if you like, and keep walking.
What are you waiting to hear before you let something go?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
