- Paper Towels
- Diet Coke
- Vodka
- Closure...
Ah, if only it were that simple. I had always been under the assumption that closure (eventually) always followed a break up. That the two kinda went hand in hand, like cause and effect, logic and reason, peanut butter and jelly… I come to find out this is not the case and far less tasty. I have been taking advantage of asking a question, and actually getting an answer. I have a thirst for knowledge and I’m not shy about it. Yes, I was that little girl who asked why to the point of frustration, but how are you ever supposed to learn anything if you don't ask, analyze, observe, etc.? Which brings me back to my current dilemma. What do you do when you ask, but get no response. None. Nothing. I made a simple inquiry in an effort to learn from my mistakes, and get nothing in return. I'm not looking for a detailed explanation, just an answer. Any answer. Good, bad, doesn't really have to be an answer at all. Just an acknowledgment of the fact that there is a pending request for information out there in the universe that is unsatisfied. Really, the universe is unbalanced right now and I fear for us all. But that is beside the point. When did it become acceptable to cutoff all forms of communication without any notice or reason for that matter? Other than death, I see no valid excuse. I thought it was in the unwritten rules of relationships that if two people enter into an agreement to not "do business" with anyone else, that to void that contract there needs to be some form of notification to the other party. Nothing fancy, a simple "go fuck yourself" will suffice. Granted, not my first choice, but better than nothing at all. Perhaps my analytical thinking skills have become my Achilles Heal, but I can't seem to let something go unless I have the ever so elusive "closure". I enjoy wading in the swaps of uncertainty about as much getting punched in the throat, and naturally avoid it at all costs. Unfortunately, I’m also blessed with an aptitude for creativity, so while the right side of my brain is trying to figure out why I still haven't gotten a response, the left side is conjuring up outlandish possibilities. It's really quite amazing (and a little scary) what the human brain can come up with when left to its own devices. Anyway, my point is, whether you're the wronged or the wrong doer, have enough common decency to let the other person know that you would no longer like to continue social communication so you can both use your brains (and bodies…a girls got needs) to more productive efforts. And no, silence is not an acceptable form of rejection, I need mine hand delivered, so the universe will be back in balance, and so I can get closure.
