I think it’s important to have closure in any relationship that ends - from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase.

Aniston frames “closure” as an ethical and psychological practice rather than a dramatic final scene: an ending should be intelligible. By extending the point beyond romance to friendships, she treats relationships as formative chapters whose meaning matters even after they conclude. The emphasis on knowing “why it began and why it ended” suggests narrative coherence—integrating experience into a clear personal story—so that grief, resentment, or confusion do not spill into future bonds. “Move cleanly into your next phase” implies that clarity enables growth: endings, properly understood, become transitions rather than wounds, allowing a person to carry lessons forward without being anchored to unresolved questions.
