I'M SORRY

“The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest"

Hello,

I FEEL, I AM

Apologizing, forgiving and forgetting, it seems a lot to ask, doesn't it?, Sure, chances are, we do not have to do it all at once. It is important to forget, it's imperative to forgive, but to apologize to someone, it's for many reasons, an essential part of life. If apologizing is not conquer, the guilt, sooner or later will eat you alive, paying a higher price.

But, I feel guilty and I am guilty is not the same, is it? Feeling guilty lingers inside and sucks the very existence out of me, potentially sending me to a mental hospital. Being guilty, only affects me, however, if I humbly recognized the shortcomings of my deeds and feel sorry for the harm I have caused. It is a complicated matter, nevertheless, both are bad enough to rotten my life if I don't do anything about it.

On the other hand, it is impossible to do the right thing all the time at every turn. It's exhausting to even think that someone could. The uncertainty of a life in its entirety, in any case, is full of ups and downs and guilt is in the mix. Circumstances are worse, in my opinion, when feelings of guilt manifest for the lack of action.

WALK OF SHAME

Guilt can't be ignored, isn't something it would go away if I don't think about it. The sooner I take action, and face the ugly truth that I've been imprudent, the better for the sake of everyone around me. Recognizing guilt, keeps me mentally balance and overall grounded. But I am also wishing to not fall into the same trap of waiting to make amendments, ever again.

Not everybody experience guilt with the same intensity, though, and it is not necessarily a bad thing; it is in fact, in the right dose, beneficial. Precisely the same way as the immune system can keep my body healthy. The purpose is

to feel some clarity, comfort, and relief from that "walk of shame" we have to endure.

TOO MUCH, TO LITTLE

Too much guilt and life can turn in a direction we did not planned, too little of it and life can get ugly for everyone around the perpetrators. Admitting full responsibility is only half of the battle, the other half corresponds to the forgiveness that the offended person should or not, extend. Nevertheless, guilt is a force so powerful that strangles me, whether I deserved it or not.

It is likely that in the course of my life, some people's feelings were harmed because of my ignorance, and the judgmental attitude I may had shown in some occasions. I know that my shortcomings had inflicted pain. I am guilty

and I am sorry.

GUILTY PLEAD

Every imperfection, every selfish actions, all the unkind words I might have said, the absence of empathy, that somehow, put someone in distressed, are a reality so hard to accept when using speaking words, indeed, it's much easier to say it with music. This piece of music, is an admission of my guilty plead, and I want to say I'm sorry.

All my trespasses, are not only damaging to others, they are also harmful to me. That is why, I must allow and extend this heartfelt apology to myself just the same. This piece, over and above, reminds me to be brave, strong and happy.
