Anonymous Apology (AA)

More often than not we go about our days saying things without thinking, without understanding. Today I realized the true meaning of that old phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." Today I realized I am not who I want to be, or expected my self to turn in to, either way. I am not the understanding, polite, eloquent, and creative young lady that I know I should be and it took only one person to show me. Unfortunately, she will never know. She won't know the words I said, the hurtful thoughts I had running through my brain every time I saw her. I did not understand, I'm sorry. Silently, she took my hand and offered kindness, a kinship of sorts, although rather unconventional. Oh well, I am an unconventional being. Through her kind outreach I will push myself to learn a better, more patient way of life where I am not run by frustration, jealousy, and guilt. Easy come, easy go-that is what life is. Love, joy, creation, death, sadness, all of these things are essential but others I can learn to live without. "Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope." Josh Billings
