@_willshields_: The second sorry is rarely for the other person. It is a hope that your own head will finally go quiet. ㅤ You said sorry. They said it was fine. A week later you are still running the moment, so you reach for another apology. For them, that day has already gone cold. For you, it stays loud because you caused it and it still feels unfinished. Saying it again buys an hour of relief, then the replay starts over. ㅤ Swipe through and save the slide that feels like it was written about you. ㅤ What is the sentence you keep hoping they will say? ㅤ #overthinking #apologizing #rumination #anxietyrelief #selfworth
