Well, I did what I thought I needed to, and apologized to myself on your behalf. It helped, it really helped to put all of that out on the table. Even if you never heard it, even if it didn't come from you. It was therapeutic, it was good. It helped. I realized that in my attempt to find closure, I had overlooked the emotions and feelings you have. It was a moment of clarity that led me to pen down this sincere apology to you because you deserve one too. To my friend, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for not living up to the expectations you may have had of me. I apologize for idealizing a version of our friendship that ultimately overshadowed its reality. I'm sorry for not making more effort to include you in my life, my small-town life with my small-town moments. And I'm so sorry for being distant and preoccupied with my business. I acknowledge my faults – I'm sorry I became irritated when you attempted to help, I'm sorry for speaking in a condescending town when I'd become upset, and I'm sorry I failed to communicate and enforce clear boundaries, causing unneeded arguments and friction. I'm sorry for expecting more from you without expressing it, and for any disappointment or rudeness I may have displayed. It hurts me to know that my actions have hurt you. I apologize if my actions or lack of action has jeopardized our friendship. I understand that you may never see this apology, but know that it comes from a place of genuine remorse. As I reminisce on our relationship, I realize that perhaps we both had delusions about each other. It's a difficult truth to accept, but sometimes friendships don't withstand the test of time. Despite the inflicted distress and moments I regret, I am beyond grateful for the memories we shared. Every moment, whether joyful or disheartening, has shaped our journey together. So here's to acknowledging mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and cherishing the moments that made our friendship unique. Though our routes may diverge, I will always treasure the bond we once shared.

After a considerable amount of radio silence, it’s time for a catch-up. I must admit, even after soliciting ideas from friends for blog posts, I let them languish. But here I am, back in the digital realm, ready to share some recent adventures. Work has been the anchor of my routine lately. As someone in the retail sector, each day brings its own set of challenges and surprises. It’s a demanding environment, but I’ve found my rhythm within it. My colleagues and customers seem to appreciate my efforts, which makes the grind a little easier to bear. I'm known as always cheerful, and a pleasure to be around which makes me feel valuable. Last week, the Hubs, embarked on a brief business trip to Dallas, TX. It was a change from our usual routine, and I found myself feeling a bit adrift without him. However, he made it so easy and that is something I truly appreciate about him. The nights were restless, though, but before I knew it, Thursday arrived, and I was back at the airport, eagerly awaiting his return. He came back loaded with an assortment of quirky freebies—a small yet delightful reminder of his travels. But the biggest news on the home front? We’ve welcomed a new addition to our family: a puppy! With our beloved dog AyeJay growing older (she's almost 7, now), we felt it was the perfect time to introduce a younger companion into our lives. And so, Sudbury came bounding into our world, a nine-week-old bundle of fur and energy. He’s everything you’d expect from a puppy—curious, mischievous, and utterly endearing. Watching him navigate the world under the gentle guidance of our older dog has been a heartwarming experience, reaffirming our decision to expand our fur family. Now, I could ramble on about the intricacies of puppy training or the challenges of balancing work and pet parenthood. But instead, I’ll leave you with something guaranteed to bring a smile to your face: pictures of our dynamic duo, AyeJay and Sudbury. After all, sometimes a picture truly is worth a thousand words. As always, thanks for joining me on this journey. Until next time, stay pawsitive! 🐾 |
