chain reaction.
the effort to mend what’s broken
When a mistake is made, the first thing you do is admit to it. You drop your pride & realize that hey, you fucked up. Then, you apologize. It shows them that the relationship you share means something to you. But it shouldn’t stop there. Apologies only go so far, sometimes nowhere at all. You should try & fix things, mend what’s broken. Making THAT effort shows a person so much more compassion than a mere apology.
Usually the effort isn’t made because of pure laziness, total disregard for the relationship. But there are seldom times when the other party won’t let you make the effort. They seem so preoccupied with your mistake that they rob you of any opportunity to fix things. But why?
Lingering on a mistake I have already admitted to & making me feel like an idiot for making it does not fix anything. It actually makes the breach between us worse realizing that you are some self-righteous being who lacks the ability to understand that I’m only human. I WILL (though I try not to) make mistakes. I realize that I messed up, I get that. But with mistakes comes lessons, & with lessons comes growth. Your bitching does nothing but slow that process & kill my confidence & motivation to be better. But if it comes down to being who I want to be & being who you want me to be, just know that I’ll always pick number one.
