I had never been a mornin’ person & wasn’t too happy about getting’ up as early as
Am sure yall gonna agree with me if I says tht just th idea of havin’ to apologise for somethin’ we’ve done fills us with dread. Don’t yall? Moreover, it gets harder when we really have done somethin’ grievously wrong, like betrayin’ a friend’s confidence or sayin’ somethin’ hurtful in a CARELESS MOMENT. Hell, such a big mistake babes! For real, I was wonderin’ why we find it so hard to utter th 2 words “IM SORRY”, is really b’cus of our pride. For me, apologizin’ & admittin’ to our mistakes take responsibility, maturity, & humility on our part. All of which are not tht easy no matter whether u’re 17 or 60! Still, however hard it is, sayin’ sorry is vital in maintainin’ our relationship with a friend, parent or siblings, & not doin’ so when thr’s a need to can only make things worse. Undeniably, it’s like any other skill & habit, we’ve got to learn how to really say sorry & mean it. After all, thr’s nothin’ to lose if a relationship could be on th mean from it!
Whoa, I have to stop now. Still have other things to do. Better get on with it though. Lols! :p
brilliant english !!!

ReplyDeleteA friend of mine used to utter this to me.. "You've made the word sounds so unworthy.."
ReplyDeleteI have the tendency to utter the word 'sorry' whenever I've done something inappropriate. But i do mean it when i said it. I never respond..(of what my friend said to me that day).
Deep down, i truly believe that, when you can no more say the word, no matter how hard you try, then you have done something really hurtful, feel sorry is not enough. Feel regret is not enough.
i do agree with u.. we're just couldn't get everything back to normal or else, but we still have th chances to make things better, rite? the most important thing is, don't blame urself if u already utter the words 'IM SORRY'.. *big smile*
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason why we didn't say sorry to ourselves when we lose something dear to us.
ReplyDeleteSorry never meant to make you feel sorry about yourself but others. 'Sorry', for me, it means, 'it's the only thing i can offer to you at this trying moment, but i'll do better next time' It's like a quick relieve, but you must really mean it. It's like a little promise. There always be next time..or is it? What if there isn't? That's how important this little precious word - 'Sorry', to me. It's a warranty, it won't make something new, rather than fix it so that it feels like new. 'Sorry' is chance, promise...
Wrongs or mistakes are like broken glass. Big mistakes are those shattered glass. You could use silicone glue to fix those broken glass, and maybe later, epoxy glue. Shattered glass, epoxy glue anyone? Or just leave it there? Clean up the mess or someone/everyone will get hurt. Don't mind to replace that glass too..
very true!!
