...See more hi everyone, 19F here. I kinda don’t have the emotional energy to get into the nitty gritty details but just know I did a terrible thing a few years ago. I sent a really mean, cruel, not to mention completely unprompted text. Now back then a couple days after it happened I did apologize and the person forgave me. But I can’t forgive myself for maliciously hurting someone like that and also totally shattering their perception of me. this was someone I could’ve potentially had a beautiful romantic relationship with if I wasn’t a total mess That situation is over and done thank goodness and there’s nothing I need to do anymore since I did the right thing by apologizing back then, but forgiving myself is the hardest part of anything. Because you control yourself yk? Whenever I look in the mirror I just see this person who’s done all these awful things and screwed up a lot of things for myself and others. And I could’ve just… not done those things. so it’s very very frustrating also I’m offering a hug to anyone who’s reading this who may need one right now!!! 🫂🫂 hug hug to all of you. if you ever feel like a bad person I understand exactly what you mean… let’s all get through this together okay?
