I remember that story, Ellen. It's one of my faves from you. You and Drashti had written about walking away from old friendships the same week.
I've given closure and often believe in it as well. But recently, I'm learning how taxing it can be on a soul level to try and express "why we can no longer be friends" to someone. I have a friend I used to "party" with and the relationship was really superficial. I don't know how to maintain those types of relationships anymore. So yes, I ghosted her because I knew she wouldn't get it.
