within 24 hours, two people i never thought i’d hear from again reached out to me. these people were ones that i had beef with, but it was so long ago that i forgot what even caused it (i’m talking middle school drama). yet, there they were, messaging me to apologize. without a doubt i forgave them.
apparently, this quarantine has acted as a time for reflection. to right all of their wrong. to be cool with someone again. & im here for it.
i personally think holding grudges is a waste of mental space. like, people make mistakes, & as long as someone is learning from it, why continue to hate them? it’s most likely not bothering them anymore either, so you end up being the only one getting screwed.
so, i do not care how long ago something happened, or how bad it affected me at the time, all i ask is for a genuine apology. for you to acknowledge what you did wrong. & bam! just like that, it’s water under the bridge. & i always hope for the same response when i do something wrong (which is much more often than i’d like to admit, hehe).
so to the people who texted me, you know who you are, & i cannot thank you enough. you inspired me (& hopefully others reading this) to apologize for past mistakes. i owe you one.
