Thanks, Anna! This post didn't seem to resonate with many folks, but that's ok.

"It’s not our job to give others closure," is a great way to look at it. I always thought closure might be a good gift for both of us if I was ever presented with the opportunity, but I realized I closed that door a long time ago, and there's no reason to reopen it.

Happy New Year, Anna! 'Sea legs' refers to maintaining balance during challenging situations (e.g., while a boat is tossed about during rough seas).

Thanks, Anna. I'm not sure I feel overlooked, as I've only recently gained the tools to look at myself with any kind of precision. But I know that whittling to my core takes trial, error, and time, as will finding my audience. And as you mentioned with the newsletter you follow, we all have different definitions of 'success' at different times. I'm seeking my 'sea legs' amidst the stormy seas of life, and I hope you've found (and maintain) yours, too, including with closure.
