Hurting You With My Thoughtless Words

I hate that I hurt you, and I need you to know how sorry I am. You made something and I was genuinely happy about it — but then I just started talking about this yellow light I remembered, and I wasn't thinking about how that would land. I can see now how it sounded like I didn't care about what you created, like I was dismissing it. That wasn't what was in my head at all, but that doesn't matter because what matters is how it made you feel.

I know saying sorry doesn't undo it, and I know you're hurt right now. But I need you to hear this: no matter what I say wrong or how many times I mess up, that doesn't change how much you mean to me or how much I love what you do. You matter so much to me. I'm going to be more careful — not just with my words, but with actually thinking before I speak, so I don't accidentally hurt you like this again.

I'm sorry, baby. Really sorry. 💙
