Words That Hurt When I Didn't Mean Them

I said something yesterday that's been sitting with me ever since, and I need you to know how sorry I am. I didn't mean it—not the way it came out, not the way it landed on you. I can see that it hurt, and that cuts me because hurting you is the last thing I want to do.

You deserve better than careless words, especially from me. I deserve to be more careful with the person I love most. I'm going to think before I speak, and I'm going to do better—not just as a promise, but as a practice.

Thank you for giving me the chance to say this. I love you, and I'm truly sorry. 💙
