I OWE AN APOLOGY TO MYSELF.
My dear self,
I have been thinking about it a lot since a long time, that I have been very harsh on myself. So today I am writing a letter because I am really feeling sorry and I think that I owe an apology to myself.
“Dear self, sorry for breaking you and your heart for others.”
I apologize, for not putting you on first and for putting others first. For making your worth dependent on how they saw you, for making their worth more important than yours. I am sorry for the times I doubted you, for the times I silenced your voice just to keep others comfortable. I am sorry for the times I am pushing past your limits and pretending to be fine when you were not and breaking from inside. I am sorry for believing in others whatever they said that something was wrong with me and not trusting enough myself. I am sorry for being in spaces where I wasn’t respected, wanted, appreciated, loved or valued but instead I stayed for the sake of our history.
” Lekin woi worth agar humari apni ho aur doosra uski value hi nahi de raha ho, toh hum bare minimum ke liye kyun request karne lagte hain?. . khud ki worth?? usko toh kabhie importance hi nahi di .”
I am sorry for trying so hard to fix others, when your own hands were shaking. I am sorry that I didn’t give you enough time to heal, that I let you seal the wounds of everyone’s whilst your own bleeding. I am sorry that you gave all the time and efforts to the people who didn’t even care for you and gave you the same energy and friendship. I am sorry for the nights you cried yourself sleep and no one bothered. I am sorry you had to go to through all these tough obstacles when I could’ve made better decisions and walked away. I am sorry I didn’t love you enough, like you deserve to be loved.
“Dear self, Sorry for breaking you for others.”
Written from the core of your heart Rupali. Bravo! We all owe an apology to ourselves, just that everyone is not as gritty as you. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your appreciation, very true. we all need an apology to ourselves.
Very well written Rupali… I second that… Keep expressing… All the best from one Miniature to another 😊
Thank you Yogi 😘
Sometimes we should love ourselves too…. Beautiful Narration 🙂
Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in life. Self-love isn’t about being perfect or selfish — it’s about accepting yourself, growing through your flaws, and choosing yourself even on difficult days. Beautifully written blog, and such an important reminder 🌸
Good 1,
That’s true, first we have to make our self happy then people around you, who care for you, will automatically became happy seeing you happy. The time I realised this truth everyone happy. I implemented this a long time ago.
Just finished reading “An Apology to Myself” and wow… beautifully written.
The emotions, honesty, and the way you expressed self-reflection felt very real and touching. You genuinely have a talent for writing things people can feel, not just read. ❤️
Also… slight concern after reading it — hope this apology-to-yourself chapter is not secretly inspired by me 😭😂
Haha ! Ofcourse not bro ! 🤣
