Brittainy Noel | When “I’m Sorry” Is Not Enough – Finding Closure Within

Battered Not Broken, Inc.1:32

Transcription

So I don't need your sorry to release myself from you. I was in that relationship for six years, right? And I remember when we were disconnecting, we met, uh, in a parking lot to have a closure conversation. It was the weirdest thing ever. We were not selling drugs, but it looked like it.

And I'm just rehashing everything like, you did this and you did that and this and that. And he's just like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He just kept saying I'm sorry. And I just kept, and this, and you don't know, and this, you don't know what you did, and this. And I just kept going. He just, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for almost two hours.

And then we sat there in silence when there was nothing else to say. And I was like, this didn't help me. It's sorry was not going to heal my broken heart. The closure that we're looking for doesn't come from them. It comes from us. You have to stop telling yourself, I need clo, I need to understand why. There's nothing they can tell you that will satisfy your, your heart telling you right now.

And that's not just for romantic partners. That's what, that's the, that's the conversations you haven't had with your parents. That's the conversations with the people who used to be your best friends. Sorry ain't enough. And I don't need your sorry to move on. [Music]
