Apologies

I am truly sorry for having hurt you. We were friends but I was never really open about how I really felt when we were talking about relationships. It seemed like people always got put in a category and there wasn't space or room for them to be more than that. I should have been truthful from the beginning that this made me uncomfortable. I don't feel that I am right about not wanting to compartmentalize people and you are wrong but just that we were never really communicating. I'm sorry that I was afraid to be honest with you sooner.

I am sorry for not expressing my gratitude to you for your kindness and care. I am sorry that I could not truly express appreciation, as you so beautifully do. I now set the intention to learn to be more open and uninhibited in expressing myself and not let fear of rejection or fear of embarrassment overpower me from expressing what's in my heart.

I am sorry I stayed too long, that I did not let you go to be the person you are and tried to cling to you and change you to my 'better' way of seeing. I am sorry I did not let you go and so make you feel wrong about who you are. I love you and want to release you to fly to your beautiful, wonderful freedom. I am so sorry.

I am sorry I have been too scared to really be present for you. I am sorry for the irritation and resentment I have displayed as a result of feeling afraid and overwhelmed. I am sorry I have kept myself so closed off from you and I truly wish to learn how to be more here for you.

I apologize to my mother. Our relationship, rocky as it may be, has only been hurt by my lack of compassion toward you. Please forgive me as I work to heal the years of unskillful communication. All my love.

I am so sorry that my fear of your loving your step-dad as much as or more than me has led to hurt and estrangement .

I'm sorry my love for you is not as deep as I know it could be. I'm sorry I do not live up to the example that you are expressing. I'm sorry that your kindness, sweetness and tenderness is not equally met by my clumsy and frightened attempts. I'm sorry that my longing for truth falls short. I'm sorry I'm comparing. I pray for that 'one day' to come ... Much. Big.

A, I apologize for lashing out at you in such an insane manner. I am still trying to forgive myself. I can only hope that one day you might find it in your own heart to forgive me as well.

Please forgive me for my jealousy. I was terribly rude to you. Forgive me.

D, I'm sorry for making you play house when we were little & pushing your sexual boundaries in the process. I could tell you weren't comfortable but went ahead anyway. I'm so sorry I showed you THAT as part of early childhood intimacy. I hope for both of us in the future that all relational encounters are mutually respectful.

I apologize to my partner for saying mean things. I resolve to never do that again.

I apologize to Dave who is no longer on this earth that I was untruthful or I lied to him in our relationship.

I apologize to E for my unskillful communication and lack of communication that I know stimulated deep pain in you. I was angry and frightened and didn't know how to deal with my feelings other than to judge and blame you. I'm so sad that we are no longer friends and that our parting was so painful. I apologize for being jealous of your partner, for ignoring him and treating him unkindly. I wish I'd known how to be with my own disappointment and sadness in a different way than making you wrong.

I apologise to Daniela, for hurting you during primary school. Despite the fact that I got bullied myself not too long ago, I still hurt you just for the sake of 'fitting in'. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to find you, so I can't apologise face-to-face. This plagues me so very much, but I hope you will be happy to know that I have never hurt anyone as I did you, and am trying extremely hard to better myself.

I apologize to myself for not being able to find the mother in me. My home is in disarray, and I am beginning to understand that I am a compulsive hoarder--not simply a collector. I apologize to myself for times when I give in to a vortex of feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness. I so want to change, to let go of the feeling of burden when cleaning and organizing my home. I apologize to myself that my feet seem made of lead. I apologize to myself if I ever make a link between the dirt in my home and who I am. I apologize to myself for not being able to find the mother in me. May there be willingness to arise. May new vision, new growth, spring from within and without. May strength to face what is difficult and lumbering in me arise as the road, also, begins to incline upward. The hill feels steep at times as I begin clearing away the stuff of this life. May there be courage as I untangle the nest of things I keep around me. May I, may we, rest in the Light that we are.

I apologise to my father for not being with him in his last days and rejecting him as a teen. I feel compassion for the suffering of his life and his inability to express his love openly for me. I apologise to my spiritual leader for my resentment and anger toward him after 37 years of relationship. Rodney Collin said esoteric relationships must be human relationships. RB in his own pain, tries to give what love he can, many friends feel it. I don't. Many devotees claim his is beyond being human. It doesn't sound right if he still has to put one leg in his pants at a time to put them on. My resentment hurts him more than it does me. I apologise to the people who run the company I have given good service to for 11 years. They find me now intolerable because I have tried to use my intelligence and cleverness to serve their clients with highest possible intention despite their insistence on formulae I can't work with. I forgive you for firing me and have compassion for the tough road you must travel with such an angry owner and difficult business.

I apologize for thinking I am right and you are wrong. I am sorry for putting myself above you and your religious Order. C, I am sorry I could not be more loving and accept you as your are. In my pain of feeling unloved, I often created more unlove. I am sorry I was not able to deal with my feeings and my choices, and went to being right and righteous. I ask you to forgive my pain and hurtful words, thoughts and actions that caused you more pain. I forgive myself for hurting myself with this too.

I apologise for yelling at my nine year old daughter to get her shoes as she left the house. In the roar of anger and frustratio, she felt blamed and afraid and both our hearts became barriered. She lef the house for a sleepover alone and sad. i am sorry

I apologize and forgive myself for allowing myself to slide into depression and believing I am a victim, that I am powerless over my life's circumstances. I forgive myself for ignoring my personal needs, for working so hard at my business that I have become out of balance, losing opportunities for laughter and fun and play, for resentment of my business and life's financial circumstances that put me in a position of resentment and anger. I forgive myself for feeling out of balance, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I love myself and am grateful for being able to express myself in recognition of my desire to heal myself of these beliefs that have not served my greater and highest good.
