Apologies


A broken window, or a poor choice of words. These are just one of many ways to hurt people unintentionally.
We should apologize and try to make amends for mistakes. But do we? Not always.

The biggest reason we don't is because we don't always know quite how. It could even be because we just don't care. But it's always the right thing to do.
An apology can change the outcome of a friendship, punishment, and even your reputation. Apologies do get hard depending on what you're apologizing for. The main things to remember about apologies is take some time to word everything how you want it to come across. Apologies are very easy to take the wrong way or for people to think you're doing it for the wrong reasons. So in my opinion, taking your time is definitely a good idea.

Always remember is actually put your heart into it. Even if it's hard, try and mean what you say. It means a lot to a person and shows who you are when you put your heart into an apology. People like knowing that you are actually sorry for what you did.

So next time you hurt someone's feelings or accidentally break something, man up (or woman up) and apologize for your mistake. Make sure it's sincere, and you may just find the outcome better than you expected.
