Introduction
We know this is a hard concept for some people to accept, but endings can be good. They’re even necessary. In fact, if we examine our lives closely enough, we’ll see that there are many different kinds of endings: some are bad, others are good—and sometimes both at once! So how do we decide which endings—good or bad—are really best for us? Well first of all let me tell you what I mean by “ending”: an ending isn’t just something that comes at the end of a book or movie; it’s also when someone decides whether or not they want to stay in your life anymore or vise versa.
Some endings aren’t so bad.
You may be thinking, “But my ending was a disaster! I’ll never get over it!” That’s OK. It’s normal to feel sad when an ending doesn’t go as planned.
Some endings are good and can be used to help you grow in positive ways. You might have realized that your life is going nowhere and that it’s time for a change; the end of one relationship could lead to something new and exciting; May it be finding the right one for you, focusing on your health and passion, or just going for an adventure, whatever the reason, there are benefits associated with an ending—even if it wasn’t what you expected!
Endings can lead to new beginnings.
Endings can be a good thing.
Endings are often the beginning of something new, or at least a chance to start over with a clean slate. When you’re done with your ending, it’s time for your next chapter in life—and sometimes that means starting over from scratch! It may not seem like an exciting prospect at first glance: after all, we spend so much time setting up expectations and preparing ourselves for what could be coming next that it seems impossible to just throw those plans out the window and hope for the best when faced with adversity (or even success). But here’s how I see things: if there wasn’t any reason for doing something other than catching up on sleep or working out before going back into work tomorrow morning then why would anyone want anything?
Some endings are just awful.
- You lose a loved one.
- You lose a job.
- You lose money.
- Your health begins to deteriorate and you can’t do the things that used to give meaning and purpose to your life anymore, such as going out for dinner or shopping at the mall with friends or family members.
Whatever it is, we’re all gonna be there one day, or maybe anytime now, it’s life’s way of saying “You better be enjoying every last bit of it before it ends, or just f*ck let go and move on”.
Endings give you a chance to grow up.
If you’ve had a lot of relationships that were unhealthy. Some people aren’t able to grow up until they have to because they’re scared to let go of what’s familiar and safe. When it comes down to it, abuse is abuse—whether it’s emotional, physical or financial. You don’t owe anyone anything; you just need some space for yourself so that you can become who you really want to be.
Endings give us a chance to grow up and make better decisions in the future!
Endings are an opportunity to take responsibility for yourself.
If you’ve ever felt like your life was out of control, this is the time to make the decision, to be in control. You can change things if they aren’t working out. You can change relationships if they aren’t working well for you. And if something is going wrong in one area of your life, there’s no reason not to try something new—if it works better than what came before (or even if it doesn’t), great! It’s all about finding happiness within yourself and around others, so don’t let anyone bring down these feelings upon themselves!
Endings can be painful, but also necessary.
The ending of a relationship can be painful, but it also gives you the opportunity to start over and learn from your mistakes. It’s not always easy to wrap your head around the idea of being single again, especially if you’ve been with someone for years—and sometimes even when you’re in a relationship! But endings are necessary for everyone who wants to grow as an individual and for those who want their relationships to go further than friendship. At times like these, we all need some time away from one another so that we can reflect on what went wrong during our time together and take responsibility for any mistakes made along the way.
Endings aren’t always easy; they often involve grief over lost loved ones or friends who’ve passed away (or even just moved away), but they’re also opportunities for growth: learning new skills that will help improve yourself as well as others’ lives around them; taking responsibility for past actions committed under duress (such as addiction); letting go of things weighing heavy on your shoulders so that new ones can take their place instead.
Sometimes endings are what we need, even though they’re hard.
Conclusion
We can’t help but wonder if endings are good for us. In the old days, people ended things and then had to start again from scratch. But with the advent of technology and social media, we never know what our tomorrow is going to look like! How will we feel about ourselves?
We think that today it might be better if you don’t end things so abruptly—but if you think about it, thoroughly, see if things are better off ended or continued, if it’s toxic and not good for your mental health, communicate your way, there’s so much to life than being stuck in a place where it doesn’t let you grow.
Look at it this way, maybe there are just things that are removed from our lives because they were never good for us in the first place, it might be through a bad ending but it’s for your own good anyway.
What do you think? Are endings good or bad for us?
