At one point in my life, or maybe up until this day, you were someone I cared about greatly. You've seen my highs and lows, and you've become a part of my life as someone I love. And because you know me so well, you know that sometimes, I mess up. A lot. But in the end, no matter what I say or do, you are important to me and it hurts me more than it hurts you when you are upset because of me. I may not show it all the time, but you really do mean so much to me, and I have to confess something about the times I've hurt you.
The truth is, sometimes it's human nature to bug. And sometimes, we hurt the people that are close to us, only because we think they're always going to be there. We trust them and we forget about what they mean to us. Sometimes, we just react out of spite. Any of the fights, bitter words, negative emotions, distances created, I never intended for them to occur, nor did I want them to become a part of us.
Time and time again, you've accepted my apologies and dealt with me, and I need you to know that that is so meaningful for me. We've come a long way and we will have ups and downs throughout life, but knowing we can count on each other is so much more worth it than any time we're upset with each other. I hate seeing you upset, and I wish I could take back any of the times I've made you anything but happy. Sometimes, mistakes are inevitable, but I wish I could take them all back.
Some of you have remained in my life and some of you have not. I want to say I'm sorry, and thank you, to all of you. I'm sorry for any of the times I was not there for you and for the times I made you feel bad in any way. I'm sorry that I didn't always realize what I was doing wrong, and I'm even more sorry for when I didn't fix my ways. Thank you for teaching me that when you love someone, seeing them hurt doesn't make you happy. Thank you for showing me the power of forgiveness and compassion, and for being there for me and accepting me for who I am.
I always think everything happens for a reason. I'm still growing and learning, so I can't say that I'm unhappy with everything that has happened. But I do know that when you love someone, don't let them go. Nothing, not any issue, can take away the cherished time between you and those you love and all the memories you've created. I hope anyone I've hurt forgives me, and I hope if the time ever comes, I forgive them too. That's how it should be with people we love. Live. Live with the idea that you love and are loved, and that you will always have that to depend on.
