amends

i know that in a relationship or in a friendship i shouldnt always have to feel like making amends or always saying sorry is necessary.

what person came up with the idea that "love is never having to say sorry?"

because i believe that that is absolutely ridiculous.

sometimes making a relationship work means a simple apology. or it means a simple acknowledgement of his or her existence.

its hard for me to see people that i love exit my life entirely, especially if there are things i know i have done wrong.

tonight i was sitting outside with my neighbor, enjoying the summertime talking about the idea of a failed or diminished relationship.

between our conversation he had recieved a text that someone, seemingly depressed, had sent him in an effort to make things right and to hopefully make herself feel better.

and i love the idea of someone being interested in others enough to do things like that.
