Hey, sometimes things are going to be hard. Sometimes, a joke might come across wrong, or you might have a hard time with someone or something. Sometimes, things aren't going to go right. But it's up to be the bigger person. You might not be the better person all of the time, and that's just human. Improve on yourself, remember what you can do to avoid what you did wrong last time, and make amends. But don't beat yourself over apologies, and don't yell at others for their amends, because at the end of the day it's a good thing they even made one. People won't always apologize to you, and that's not exactly okay. But if they don't apologize, then pffft they can go deal with their own problems. Rest well knowing you're being the bigger person. Sometimes, people rub salt on the wound when you try to avoid the situation, or you might be the one who does. But you improve on yourself, and you change. You won't be a better person in a day, that's what happens in movies, not real life. But what will happen is you will become slowly better if you recognize your flaws and become better. And remember, when apologizing or acknowledging your mistakes, don't include others in that. You focus on yourself and your own mistakes when apologizing and make up for what you did. This is usually enough for the other person to feel enough remorse and guilt for them to make amends themselves. If they don't, then rest well knowing you were the better person. Sometimes, things will be really difficult, and you won't always manage it in the best way. But the best thing you can do is move on and improve. Hey, there's always going to be a better day. So look forward and up, into the future. The past is the past and let it be that way. The sunrise starts tomorrow, so live the sunset and await the dawn. Just recently had an argument with a friend. I won't go into details, neither will I slander them or go on a rant. It's just not worth my time or effort. Instead, I just thought I'd do something a little better. I'm well aware that I'm (as I view myself) a bad person, but I try to improve on that all the time. People don't always apologize or try to understand but it is what it is. I thought that maybe if I made this, I could make people going through the same stuff feel just a bit better. Remember, it's never justified to do a wrong thing willingly but it's slightly better when you make up for it with genuine intentions. Don't use this as a way of justifying your actions, but as a way of reflecting on it in a way that may not make yourself feel all that bad.
