Saying sorry is the hardest word to say in the english language. Saying sorry is a humbling experience. Saying sorry takes courage. Saying sorry requires your own feelings to take a back seat. I hate the word sorry. At least I hate saying it. I want to erase it from my vocabulary. I say it too much. I tend to apologize when it’s not entirely my fault. I usually say sorry when I want to “save” a relationship. Or at least try to make it better. And it’s not even romantic relationships. It’s friendships, family, etc. I felt like saying sorry would change things. I felt like that maybe if they saw me put forth the effort to make it work then they would too. I thought that if I said sorry that they would say sorry too. I was wrong. Every time I said sorry no one said it back. I took responsibility for my actions, why weren’t they taking responsibilities for theirs? I know I was in the wrong, but I wasn’t the ONLY one in the wrong. Why am I always the one to take the blame? I thought saying sorry was supposed to make me feel better. Why do I feel worse? I’m tired of being the only one who is sorry. I want to live my life unapologetic. From now on the only thing I’m sorry for is not being sorry. Sorry not sorry.
