The Drawer I Didn’t Open: Freedom in Peace over Closure

Posted on by tamgaia

There are moments on the path where what seems like a small choice becomes a radical act of self-liberation. For me, this one came in a dream.

I was in a familiar space, a place echoing with emotional memory. I walked into the bathroom of someone I once felt deeply connected to—someone who, in waking life, I have since recognized as no longer aligned with my energy. In the dream, I opened a drawer, just intending to peek. But as soon as I did, every drawer in the room slid open. I could not close them. I was flooded. Overwhelmed. And I woke up knowing: this was not about furniture. It was about energy.

Battling the Urge to Know

The urge to know is ancient. For those of us who are deeply intuitive, sensitive, and curious, the desire to understand can feel like a soul-calling. We want to know why things ended. Why they hurt us. What they meant. And more often than not, we want closure. But here’s the quiet truth I’ve come to: peace is more important than proof.

Opening the drawer is seductive. It’s a moment of false agency that seems like truth-seeking. But in reality, it’s an energetic re-entanglement. It’s an invitation back into a loop we’ve already outgrown. My dream showed me this with crystalline clarity: the moment I tried to open just one part of the past, the whole field reactivated. And suddenly, I was in a storm I never meant to enter.

What is Discernment?

Discernment isn’t about judgment. It’s about alignment. And alignment sometimes means walking away without the answer. It means trusting the knowing that already lives in your bones—even when your mind is still begging for just one more drawer, one more peek, one more piece of evidence that it was real, or wrong, or meant something.

But here’s the deeper truth: what you don’t open can’t drain you.

Not everything needs to be understood. Not everything deserves your energy. Some things simply ask to be left behind so you can become more of who you are.

Curiosity is sacred. But it’s not always your guide. Sometimes it’s your test. And I’ve come to learn that the real act of power isn’t in knowing more, it’s in standing in your center and whispering, “I trust what I already know.”

That dream was my moment of initiation. The drawer I didn’t open in waking life became the boundary that protected my peace. And from that place of peace, new inspiration, creativity, and abundance has already begun to flow.

So if you’re standing in front of a drawer today—in your heart, your memory, your messages, your past—pause.

And ask yourself: Does opening this make me more free, or more entangled?

Sometimes the most sacred act is the one where you turn away, not in avoidance, but in clarity.

Close the drawer. Keep your peace. Walk on.
