apologise

This one scares me the most. 11 months ago

In an argument, a conversation gone bad, a tense moment we all want to “have the last word” and convince the other(s) that they’re wrong.

Perhaps, they are or not.

But offering an apology or some sign of peace is better than continuing in the pattern

More likely than not, the other person will not understand/accept/like you, your reasoning, etc.

Oh well.

But better to leave with peace than anger.

We can’t all have what we want all the time.

Of whatever the problem was in the first place, and in this instance, just won’t. I don’t think the matter has been fully addressed, but not for wont of trying – but I’ve done it. Its all I can do. 3 years ago

And I feel so much better now! 3 years ago

Well, we happened to be in the same place at the same time (and there also happened to be a bottle of wine present) so it made it a whole lot easier to attempt to communicate again. And I think it worked, to some extent. We’ve spent some time together since, and tho I don’t think it will be the same, it is a giant step in the right direction. I am very grateful for the opportunity. 3 years ago

a few nights ago. I started a row with my friend over nothing, and she’s forgiven me, even though I haven’t apologised yet. I want to wait til I see her though, so I can apologise face to face 3 years ago

I’ve given it a red hot go, and, in line with my other goal “Accept it, change it, forget it”, must now just accept that she is not willing to accept my apology, and thus I must move on. Its a pity. Life is too short for this kind of thing. 3 years ago

I have tried a couple of times, but with no success thus far. I was a jerk and should not have said those things to her – unfortunately, apologising means needing access to do so, which she is denying me – I totally understand. I just wish I could take it back. 3 years ago

With all my heart, all that is me and all that I will ever be. 4 years ago

I can apologise no more, just not repeat the same mistakes and expect a different result. I know the truth, I am the one who lives with my actions and feelings everyday. Time to focus on the present and positive 4 years ago

Well time has passed, although I still have not completely forgiven myself, I am learning to look at my actions in a different light. I realize that I am blessed to have this knowledge. I am leaning toward a new reality. 4 years ago

I am truly sorry for hurting someone I care deeply about> This person will never know how much it hurts me that I know they are hurting too. It bothers me that I cannot fix it or make it better. I know I have to let this go, I am working on finding a way. I never meant to hurt anyone, especially someone who loves me so much. 5 years ago

I have so many things to apologise for, it all drops you to the ground in humility. Yet I don’t lower myself to such things, as I am an imperfect, dirty human, incapable of affection and emphasizing on any purposive level. 5 years ago
