Today, I resolved a key issue in my life, one that I had caused. We all do things in the moment, things that we know we will regret. And a week or two ago, I followed this pattern to a tee. As much as this embarrasses me, and makes me look lesser in some of your eyes, I hurt someone. Not someone close to me, someone I actually don’t like very much. I had a genuine “mean girl” moment. In passing this person in the all I coughed an undesirable name in her direction. Immature, I know. For the first minute afterwards, it almost felt good to get my opinion out in the open. Unfortunately soon after that I began to feel regret. And even sooner after that the consequences followed. Some unhappy aftermath crashed into me and hurt me probably just as much as I hurt her. Quickly, I realized that I needed to fix the problem. So today I walked right up to her and apologized. She gracefully accepted and things seem to be fine between us. I feel like a burden is lifted, like I don’t have to worry or feel bad anymore.
I also had an epiphany or two today, not happy ones. More of the kind that you remember something that you wished you could just forget? Yeah, those. Life is hard, but I can do this right? Everyone can. Anyway, this is probably my most casual post. I don’t like it, but I wanted to at least let you know that I did the right thing. After of course doing the wrong thing, but still
