The Power of Apology

My Restored Friendship

Hi everyone, and welcome to my page
I'm sure we've all been in a situation where you've had a fight with a friend, and things haven't been the same since the misunderstanding
Sorry, has various definitions, buh I see sorry as an act of apologizing to someone not only when you're at fault but when you feel needs be, or it's another way of taking responsibility to save relationships

I'm sorry, has saved many people from throwing away relationships of all kinds, and I'm sorry can also make you build bond between you and the other person.

I'm sorry has helped in healing emotional wounds, it's like a weight has been lifted off their shoulder,
And such statement should not be taken for granted no matter how small the person saying it maybe to you.

Today, I want to share an experience I had with a friend which led to a fight or should I call it an argument that caused us weeks before communicating,
Is not asif we don't talk or chat but the communication was kinda a forced one and it's something I do not like when it comes from someone I value too much

It was on a faithful Friday, when I got back from rehearsal, I was talking to my friend on phone and we began to talk of something which led to the argument, twas not my fault or that of my friend, though,but we actually misunderstood each other which led to us not talking for days and weeks.
I do all the chatting but the reply I got was not really encouraging at all, I started to feel guilty about the whole stuff and I had to admit, I felt like it was all my fault I would have just agreed with the decision my friend brought even when it wasn't pleasing to me. I felt like I've ruined our friendship and I didn't know how to fix things.
I took the courage and messaged my Friend, the whole conversation was boring not until my friend started noticing the seriousness in me, I apologized and my friend was able to tell me everything he had in mind, how he was hurt, how he was disappointed BLA BLA BLA ....
Since then, we came back to our normal selves and everything went smoothly.
In the end, apology saved my friendship

Why am I sharing these story, it all because I learned a valuable lesson from that experience, I learned that apologizing isn't a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength
It takes courage to say sorry, especially when you're not sure how the other person will react,
Buh apologizing is important, it's important because it shows that you respect the other person's feelings and that you're willing to take responsibility of your actions

Imagine having someone in your life, someone that you've been working with for sometime, then a little misunderstanding got into you both and this same person is someone you've learned from so well, buh because you both are now doing well, you allowed pride to get into you that you refuse to apologize to that person and that person has been hurt and has also refused telling you, your ego has broken a well built relationship and will leave you with nothing but regret.
Learn to apologize when need be, cause you do not know what life has to bring in return...

A sincere apology allows us to move forward and to build an even stronger relationship with people around us

I am sorry does not necessarily mean you are at fault, sometimes we need to take the responsibility of saying sorry to keep relationships
Pride has made so many people lost strategic relationships and many people still leave in regret cause of that.
I hope we all learn how to apologize to each other no matter the circumstance.
