Sorry by Buckcherry

This song could easily be the theme song to my life.

"I'm sorry I'm bad,
I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
and I know,
I can't take it back"

Throughout my 31 years on this blue and green marble, I have always been a worrier. I would take on everyone I knew's issues and apologize for everything. I have been told saying sorry too much is a sign of weakness, but growing up, I didn't know better. It easily carried over into my adult life and is still prevalent to this day. But the problem with saying sorry all the time is that when you really mean it nobody will know.

So today, I am making a blanket apology to anyone I ever hurt or wronged in any way. I'd like to think I am a good person and any pain I may have caused you was unintentional. I'd also like to apologize to myself. For putting other peoples needs and desires ahead of my own far too often. It is an admirable quality to have but you have to know your own limitations and that is something I am working on.

"Every single day,
I think about how we came all this way
the sleepness nights and the tears you cried,
it's never too late to make it right."
