Apologies

Today I finally apologized to Michael. Last January I was so hurt by him forgetting we had plans and took it so personally because I had such a crush on him. It was like another rejection. My head was in the clouds and all in could see was how forgettable I was rather than a friend who simply had a lot going on and accidentally spaced out on plans.

I wish he had told me he had a gf. Then I would have completely understood, but I wanted to believe things based off of how I felt and validated getting upset with him because of that. I took it personally and held on to resentment, rather than thinking there must have been a good reason for him to forget. Especially since he had so much going on.

He said he appreciated it, was sorry for being such a goofus, and was just glad that we were okay. So that was that! Another weight was lifted off of my shoulders. 😪😊 No matter how much time goes by it feels really good to get stuff off of your chest. The worst that can happen is awkwardness, but that’s really not bad and most people are very gracious about apologies.

I’m just so glad to have my friend back. 🙂
