Quote by Jacqueline Simon Gunn

“Saying you’re sorry is an act of strength. Apologizing says I appreciate you and your feelings and I am strong enough to admit that I did something that hurt you. Honest self-reflection is not for the weak. It is perhaps one of the greatest acts of courage. So is apologizing. It is not lowering yourself. It is not about power. It does not even have to directly relate to the transgression itself. It says, I see you and hear you. You are important to me. Saying I’m sorry is telling someone they matter.”

“Life doesn't pat me on the head and praise me for making connections. It thunks arrows through hearts. Stabs bellies. It makes damn fucking sure I know loneliness is the only acquaintance I'll ever have, waiting until the roots of connection bore deeper than I'd like to admit before it rips out flesh and bone. Sheds blood. Stops Hearts. Hardens mine with another calloused layer of disconnect.”
