We always want to be the recipients of an apology... but because we are all human... we make mistakes and it it’s always extremely difficult to be the one to say sorry. The main reason why people (especially me) have a difficult time saying those simple little words, “I AM SORRY” is mainly because it’s a way of acknowledging that we were wrong. But one thing that I have learned throughout my life is that we will have a stronger relationship with those whom we humble ourselves to and give them a heartfelt “I am sorry”... and not just saying, “I’m sorry, but adding... “I’m sorry because....” Believe me, I know from many past experiences that apologizing, even for the smallest little thing is extremely difficult to do. And I do understand that even though at times when we really want to say sorry, the other side or even ourselves are still upset about the situation, that saying I’m sorry at that moment will seem fake, even though it isn’t. It really is a tough thing to say, but it is something that MUST be said. Most arguments are not worth the heart ache and pain that it causes. We all need to be happy and move on with our lives… but in a healthy manner. However, without an apology it can be extremely difficult to move on. Life is too short to be down each other’s throats. And until one of us humbles ourselves to say those dreaded “I’m sorry” words, it will bring LOTS of unnecessary tension which is never good because things will just escalate from there. We will be the first to say “I’m sorry” to our friends… but when it comes to family, it just always seems extremely difficult… when it should be the other way around. Keep your head up and know that you are loved by your family and many others!
