We are all flawed. Forgive yourself. Spread a little love
Will do...🤗👍💘
I think this just shows that most of us, men included, improve with age in compassion, caring and awareness. As someone said, youth, it’s wasted on the young. I bet your next one will benefit from your past mistakes. If you let it.
Men think we are all about money and things. Wrong. We are about loyalty and caring. The smallest gesture is worth so much more. Now, go take out the trash and I will love you forever.😉
I'm learning to be softer and more accepting.
Or is it that I accept myself more now? It's a long and winding path.
There is no way to fix or correct the things we have done in the past, but especially those that we have not done, but you have to take advantage of the experience to get to know yourself and not repeat the same mistake in the future.
Good , sound advice. 👍🤗💘
Apologies are nice, but the key question is...if you met someone today, would you do better? 🤔
(I hope so)
I've reformed. It's taken time.
And would NEVER use her toothbrush, without asking first. ❤️
I've been morphing for years and years
This revelation wasn't a today event. I just felt like it was appropriate to share.
But here's the sad thing, none of the women I want to apologize to, are anywhere I can find.
Except for one.
I often wonder about that belief about confessions... before that last breath : as if it absolves you.
I don't think it does.
@Paulxx001 introspection can be a good thing.
In an acronym someone introduced me to yesterday - AFOG.
(Another Fucking Opportunity for Growth!)
@smartasswoman
At my age, there is not much room for any more of anything. But I'll keep a hopeful eye.
And that thing that NEEDz ta grow, always does.
You're always — ok mostly — so positive.
I meant that.
It wasn't sarcasm. 💕
Thanks.
So NOW, replies to comments are completely upside down where NO ONE can follow the logic of any thread?
It can't just be happening to me? This site... I swear. 😶
@Paulxx001 it looks the same as yesterday to me?
@smartasswoman
Or did they fix it?
I find Valentine's Day to be just another day ... but only because I'm not in love with anyone.
I'm sure you and your husband celebrated this day.
Cheers to those memories. 🌹💕🍷🍷
I have a man I look back fondly to like this. He and I had better chemistry than any other man. But I had to move on. Someday he may come back and appreciate me
Everyone deserves happiness and a second chance.
He may wake up one day... in time. 💘🌹
Happy Valentine's Day, my dear!
And to you as well. 💕
I love those 'fleurs' were you a fan of them on this V day?
A thoughtful and thoughtprovoking post.
INHO I wouldn't focus on the concern to actually convey the message to those specific individuals of your past. As long as you have (re)processed the events and feelings within you, and come to this, that is what matters.
Although Thanksgiving Day is not part of my culture (same with Valentine's), I use that holiday to inwardly reflect on those persons I would like to thank for effecting change and evolution within me. The gratitude remains unspoken, just a silent mindfulness, and then I move on.
Although it might be hard to believe, given my occasional rough and outspoken exterior, my soul is made of jello, and THIS day brought a flood of remembered faces to the surface.
You're right, one can't undo what has been done or said, and I don't live or wallow in my past; I'm just sorry that I wasn't as self-aware then as I try to be now. Although, every day is a fresh opportunity to improve.
Your Thanksgiving Day reflections are a great guideline for anyone to follow.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 🤗
I knew several women where I would have liked to say things in a different way. It's too late for that and they wouldn't care. Thanks for the reminder. Lol...
All we can do is move forward. 👍
Everyone has one regret or more, but don't dwell on them. I took group therapy, it didn't help, so this might be the course for you.
Lol... I don't think I am in need but thanks for the advice. 😂
Valentine's Day means many things to many people.
Does this day, celebrating love, mean anything to you or is it just another day?
@silk_petal_rose
Warm thoughts; I can feel your impression that day left.
Thank you for sharing.💘
