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.
sometimes i accidentally accept the bare minimum trying to be considerate of what others are going through and that is a habit i need to let go of expeditiously
