somewhere down the line to upkeep niceties, you were programmed to apologize when you didn’t do anything that warrants an apology.
stop doing that shit, fam.
you are responsible for your actions + your actions only.
it’s perfectly okay for you to hate that someone is going through something + at the same time, understand that no amount of apologizing will revert their experience to one in which they favor.
when we apologize for the sake of apologizing, we are negating our own feelings + opinions about a situation.
certainly how they feel, what they think, + what they do about a situation isn’t more important than how you feel, what you think, + what you do.
others opinions are their own so let them own them.
your apology + your sympathy isn’t needed for them to express themselves the way they see fit + for them to feel how they feel in the moment.
unless you did something to warrant an apology, let others be who they are, feel how they feel, + do what they do.
continue being unapologetically you + living your best life in the most unapologetic way.
be you, be dope!
