Finishing Unfinished Business

Sometimes, closure isn’t given — it’s created.

---

I need to say this for my own healing — not because I expect anything from you.

Even after we ended things, something in me still felt unfinished — not because of anything you didn’t say, but because I never got to express the fullness of what you meant to me.

The truth is, I cared about you more deeply than I ever said. What I felt for you was real, honest, and sincere. When things ended, it affected me in ways I tried to hide, even from myself.

I reached out a few times afterward, and I wish I hadn’t, but I also understand why I did. I was trying to hold onto something that had already ended for you, even though my heart wasn’t ready to let go.

But beyond the hurt, I want to acknowledge something that matters to me:

You changed me.

You helped me in ways no one else ever had.
You reminded me that I was beautiful, important, and valuable.
You pushed me to see myself differently.
You encouraged me to be better, to grow, to believe in myself.

We shared conversations, laughter, and pieces of ourselves that we didn’t share with other people. Those moments were real for me, and they meant something. I will never forget them — not because I’m holding onto you, but because they were a part of my healing at that time in my life.

I hope I left a good impression on you, too, even though things ended the way they did. I hope you know my feelings were always real.

And more than anything, I truly hope you walk in your destiny — the one God has for you. I hope you understand what I mean by that, because I always saw something strong, purposeful, and anointed in you.

I’m choosing to release this now.
Not because it meant nothing, but because I deserve peace, clarity, and a future that isn’t tied to unanswered messages or unfinished feelings.

Thank you for who you were in my life, even if only for a season. 
I release this chapter with honesty, respect, and peace.

I’m choosing myself now.

And I’m not looking back.

Love, ToniRay
