A waiting test

Do I Get Closure

You're waiting for something. An explanation, an apology, a sentence that finally makes it make sense — and until it arrives, none of this is finished.

Twelve questions about what you're actually waiting for, and whether it's coming.

The 12 questions

  1. How did it actually end?
  2. Did you get a reason?
  3. How often does it come back to you?
  4. Do you rehearse the conversation you'd have with them?
  5. In that imagined conversation, what do they do?
  6. Have you reached out since?
  7. If they gave you the honest reason tomorrow, what would change?
  8. Do you think they're capable of giving you that answer?
  9. How do the people around you respond when it comes up now?
  10. What are you telling yourself the waiting is for?
  11. Has anything about your life moved on since?
  12. Gut check — if you never got a single word from them again, could you be alright?

Answer all 12 and you get a scored read: what the answers add up to, what it means, and the three that decided it. One payment, nothing renews.
