To the Good Girls I Made Assumptions About,

So every girl has their "enemies," whether they choose to or not. Girls hate girls for disgusting amounts of reasons, and let me tell you, those reasons are usually pathetic once they're said out loud. "She's dating my ex," "She's best friends with my boyfriend," "She turned everyone against me in 4th grade." Well, don't we sound dumb. I would be lying if I said I haven't used one of these lines before, and let's be honest, you are definitely lying if you said you haven't at least stalked or judged the girl who's dating your ex or the girl you used to call your friend. So, since she's dating your ex, she's bad? Since you grew apart, she's not longer considered a "good girl"? So, this is my apology to you.The girls I once referred to as "she." I don't know who you are and even if I once knew you, I don't know who exactly you have become. Therefore, I shouldn't look at you as anything other than good until you can prove me wrong. I believe we are all good-natured, it just depends on what we decide to show.

To the Good Guys I Looked Past,

I look through you, or even worse, I convince myself you don't exist even when I come face-to-face with you. We all have a past, but unfortunately for you and me, I let mine dictate how I treat you. I would like to explain to you why I do this before I apologize. Growing up, I didn't have an example of a "good guy" to look up to, and therefore, I simply don't know how to associate the right ones into that category. So I taught myself...or I thought I did. Unfortunately, my lack of an example led me into situations where "good guys" to me, were the ones that liked to toy around and hang out for one purpose. I thought this was normal because it was all I knew, so naturally, I put these guys on a pedestal. These "good guys" made the good guys without quotation marks around their name look abnormal to me. What are dates anyway? Too awkward. You want to go see a movie? Well, I guess we have to pick one that we don't actually want to watch...? Well, silly me, thinking that's how it has to go. So here I am, apologizing to the genuine ones. You're everywhere, I was the one who made you hard to find.

To a Good One I Labeled Bad,

This one is to me. The girl I was convinced had no good left in her just because she got lost. I convinced you that you were bad because of the way you have been treated. You fell off course and became comfortable being uncomfortable because of the things I said to you; because of the things I made you analyze. I am sorry that I let you be convinced that you had nothing left to offer. Your roots are good, don't let me dig them up. Please keep watering them even when someone makes you think you shouldn't. Growing and changing doesn't mean you're bad. It means you're human.
