Remember that one really crappy thing you did.....?
Remember that one time you were "wrong". That time you did something you really regret?

Remember how you didnt apologize? Or gave some sort of "pseudo-apology"?


Well here is a reminder about how good asking for forgiveness can be.

Last week, I went to my mother and made a heart felt apology for the way I acted when I was 17 (20+ years ago). Face to face, with sincerity.

Her eyes watered up, my eyes swelled. The power of my wrong doing lifted from me.

My mother happily accepted my apology and gave me a hug.


Never forget how asking for forgivess and getting forgiveness can make you feel!

So pick up the phone (better in person), and give that heartfelt apology that you have denied yourself (and the other person) for so long.

Edit: I stole some jewelery from my mother and pawned it.

Called my sister after this and apologized for being a "bratty" younger brother.

She was more surprised than my mother was. And in return, she apologized for how she treated me.

Wait until you get that heartfelt apology out. You will feel "light as air". And the look on the persons face will be "priceless".

Please come back and let us know how it goes.

Of design he created thus; his own waste providing his own food, and all that he did or suffered taking place in and by himself. For the Creator conceived that a being which was self-sufficient would be far more excellent than one which lacked anything; and, as he had no need to take anything or defend himself against any one, the Creator did not think it necessary to bestow upon him hands: nor had he any need of feet, nor of the whole apparatus of walking; but the movement suited to his spherical form which was designed by him, being of all the seven that which is most appropriate to mind and intelligence; and he was made to move in the same manner and on the same spot, within his own limits revolving in a circle. All the other six motions were taken away from him, and he was made not to partake of their deviations. And as this circular movement required no feet, the universe was created without legs and without feet.” -Plato

 Quoting: Forgotten


I was 17 she was 24. It was a 'secret' relationship because she was and still is a friend of my sister. She didn't find the idea of being called 'a child rapist' funny (I definitely did).

The point is that every meeting would be secretly, so there were days where we didn't talk and then start again. One of these times it lasted 2 or 3 weeks, I became very concerned about what was happening, why the fuck did I enter that kind of relationship knowing the age difference would bring something bad, if she was tired of me, etc...

I apologized to her for going full retard by spamming her mail and cellphone and not giving her the space she needed...

She told me "Relax babe! Everything is perfect!"

But even with your family dynamic, an apology could help "break the ice". If it doesnt at least you know you tried?

Yeah, I did something I regretted 16 years ago. I didn't think I'd ever get a chance but something came up a few months ago that made me feel worse than ever but at the same time I feel a lot better knowing they are doing well.

Re: Remember that one really crappy thing you did.....?
Sounds like something I heard somewhere else...

Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

Forgiving yourself is just as important. There are many people in my past life that I have wronged and I will never get to see again.

I forgive myself and say an apology to "god".

Re: Remember that one really crappy thing you did.....?
Not really. I learned over 30 years ago (while on a spiritual quest) that fessing up to our wrongs was a freeing thing. Ever since, I've practiced that advice, and I've lived my life in such a way that I shouldn't have to apologize - but when I feel I have done something wrong to someone, it's the first thing I do. Living with guilt, is NOT fun.

I agree completely. There comes a time during a "spiritual evolution" that a person realizes The Golden Rule. At least in my experience.

Once you have this realization, you start treating everyone the way you should. The need to apologize becomes less and less.

Hannah but is not about living with guilt, it's about forgiving yourself and most important, letting others know your feelings about that crappy thing you did. They can't read your mind, I belive most people receive apologies in a very good way, specially if you took the time to 'close that door' after a lot of time.
