Apologise

Sometimes its so hard to say the words I’m sorry. From my experience when saying sorry brings the emotion of embarrassment. As I’ve grown up I have realised this is the most brave thing you can ever do.

Admitting fault or being wrong is very hard and having to do it in front of someone is a whole lot harder. However, saying sorry to someone can mean so much more than anything else you say. I know that when people are hurt all they want to hear is that sorry. And to be on the receiving end of a sincere apology it is so heart-warming.

Today I had my dad apologise to me; for not being there for me through my 24 years of my life. This apology really made me feel multiple emotions! I’m glad that I have had that chance to begin to mend our relationship after many years of hurt and miscommunication.

Although even after an apology there is still that doubt but from receiving apologies and giving them, it is a hand being reached out for the possibility of a new path ahead. To me that is the most important thing. The definition of Sorry is I know I did wrong, and I’ll try do better. That definition gives the future standard for both people in the future.

For the person apologising it is recognising what was wrong or heartful and for the person receiving it, it is clarification to how they have felt since the incident or moment they were hurt. I have always found this so cleansing! Apologies don’t mean that all can be back to normal nor that you have to forgive them however, it’s the beginning to healing within your own self.
