This post is incredibly deep and beautifully written. You touched on so many layers of what “sorry” really means, not just a word, but a mirror of our humility and growth.

I especially loved the line about how real sorry is felt “with a touch in the heart.” That’s the difference between saying it to escape guilt and saying it to truly heal. Your childhood story was so relatable, we’ve all had those moments where we thought hiding the truth would protect us, only to learn that truth + a sincere sorry = real peace.

And yes, the reminder to say sorry to ourselves hit home. Sometimes we forget that we deserve forgiveness too, for the times we’ve been hard on ourselves.

Thank you for this message. It wasn’t just a post, it was a lesson in emotional maturity. I’ll carry this with me. 💛
