Not too sure I want to say sorry.

Hello friends. Happy to see everyone again this beautiful day. I come in peace ✋.

This week's contest topic bis very special for me. Because I am one of those who use to have problem with saying " I am sorry". Is just five later words. But it was difficult for me to say before. I don't really know why it was like that, but it really gave me hard time to learn how to be sorry when I need to. This simple "sorry" have healed lots of hearts. The absence of it in any relationship can cause lots of problems that may not be salvage for a decade. I have personal seen family go there separate ways because no one was ready to say "sorry" I have seen relationship that was heading to a better place scattered because of the absence of "sorry". My prayers today is that we will learn and embrace the attitude of saying " sorry".

I'm Sorry

There are people who find this easy to say, whether they are in the wrong or not.

Of course there are some Who say sorry so easily. But at first, I wasn't in this group. Then, I do envy those who can easily say sorry. I wished that I can say it. But even when I wanted to say it. The words are not forth coming. My mouth will be very heavy at that moment. But people around me will always say that I don't like saying sorry. People called me a stubborn girl. Though it seems that they are right. But that is not what is happening to me. I was living in bondage. I wished that I can do the right thing, but it was not possible.

When I was still seventeen, I was learning tailoring work from a lady and she didn't tolerate late coming to her shop. That faithful day, I did some house chores at home and it delayed me a little. Immediately I came to shop, she asked me to go back home. I started crying and couldn't talk or even apologize. All that came to my mind was to go to a neighbor to ask her to go and talk to my madam. But she told me that when we get to the place, that I should say that I am sorry to my madam. I didn't respond to her knowing how difficult it is for me to say sorry. When we got to our shop, the woman I brought apologized on my behalf and asked me to say sorry. All that I did was to bend my head and start looking downwards. I didn't say anything else and I could not raise my head up. When the woman saw the way I was behaving she quickly stood for me and started talking. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't say " sorry".

  • And then, there are those that find it difficult to say. Which are you?

I have switched oh! I no longer find it difficult to say sorry. I love saying it now. In fact, sometimes even when I am not wrong, I just say "sorry" just for peace to reign. Maybe is because I am advancing in age. When people begin to grow older, they will suddenly discovered that some things that do is not actually worth the stress. Having problems here and there is not worth the stress. When you live in peace with people, your own life will become a blessing to others.

Conclusively, I did love to say that saying sorry is not just a healing for the person you are talking to. But also a healing for you saying it. Because you will find peace and joy the moment you say it. S O R R Y is not hard to say, but difficult to pronounce.

Thanks for coming around. You comment will be well appreciated.

Sorry is actually a magic word especially when it's genuine.
It's like soothing salve on a burning wound.

I laughed at this but I absolutely agree.
With everyday that goes by, you realize that you no longer want any of the negative drama nor stress.

Sorry might come off as a big word but it has too many good sides than we can overlook. Especially the relief it brings.

Yes you are right, there are things that aren't worth the stress. Saying sorry does limit a lot of huddles and help both the offender and the offended heal.

Thank you for this

The advantages of saying sorry are more.

These days with what's happening around us, there's no energy to keep malice.

Apologize and move on

There is no trait that we can not develope if we work on ourselves. I am so happy you got rid of that attitude, it is very bad, it can cost you more than you expect.

It did cost me alot. Sometimes we need to feel for those we see doing something bad, because they are not happy doing it. They are just compelled to do something against their wish.
Thanks for hopping in.

Seriously, people are bound by different forces. Sometimes they wish they could undo some stuffs too but the forces are strong, it will be very nice of us if we decide to feel for them and understand their situation

Saying sorry to someone you offend should never be a problem, it's good that you've switch. I don't find it a big deal to tell anyone sorry but I find it a big deal for someone to tell me sorry. Don't tell me sorry when it isn't genuine, I prefer we talk things out and see where the problem is coming from if it's from me, I take corrections if it's from you, you do same but what I don't like is someone telling me sorry only for peace to reign because peace will not reign😄 I prefer you stand on your right and proof your points to me if you are correct and if you are not then you should be able to admit it. When you truly admit it, your sorry becomes valuable to me😁😁
