Some things don't go back to normal, even after an apology. Once you’ve seen how someone can hurt you, you can’t unsee it. You can forgive and even laugh together like nothing happened, but a part of you will always remember how it felt, and that changes everything.
I wish people understood that when someone seems to overexplain, it's often because of how much they've been misunderstood. They're trying to give you information that they assume is hard to understand based on how they've been treated. This deserves compassion, not criticism
This girl on TikTok said, "My problem is I get around people and start making them believe in themselves. They get around me and try to make me feel smaller than I am." I felt that so hard.
Healing for yourself is real. But not everyone who doesn’t apologize is just unhealed. Sometimes they don’t see it, or they don’t want to. Either way, waiting on an apology keeps you stuck. At some point, you have to let go without it.
