Why Do Some Chapters Need To Close For Others To Open?

Sometimes, we really have to let certain chapters of our lives close in order to open new ones. And even if that chapter was amazing—maybe it was exactly what you needed at that time—there comes a point where it’s just... time. It’s like when you finish a book you loved so much, but you know it’s time to start a new one, even if you’re not ready to let go of the last one just yet. The thing is, new beginnings aren’t always about leaving something “bad” behind. They’re about moving toward something that’s going to serve you in a different, maybe even better, way. A chapter can be beautiful and meaningful, and still, its time can pass. What came before was exactly what you needed to grow or learn or feel, but now there’s something new on the horizon that’s going to bring you even more. And that's not just okay—it’s exciting. It’s kind of like outgrowing old clothes. You had that favorite jacket that fit perfectly, but now you’ve grown, or maybe your style has changed. Keeping it might hold some sentimental value, but that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to keep wearing it forever. There’s something fresh, something that fits better, waiting for you to try it on. Sometimes we have to trust that what’s coming next is just as beautiful, if not more, than what we’re leaving behind. And maybe, just maybe, it’s exactly what we need to keep moving forward. We love you all so, so much!
