It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry
Two simple little words, yet why are they so difficult to say?
An admission of guilt, wrong-doing, having caused injury or pain, deliberate disobedience and acceptance of the fact that something has been done that should not have been done.
It usually takes a rather big gulp to swallow the big ball of pride stuck in the throat and preventing these words from coming out.
Two simple little words, yet they mean so much.
To the injured, they are a concession by the sayer that they acknowledge the fact that their actions have caused grief, that they regret having wronged them, and wish to make amends.
They have the power to ease the a heartfelt pain, and mend a broken relationship between two people.
Two simple little words, so difficult to say yet they mean so much.
Growing up, I was a source of headache and heartache for my mother (as all children are), and saying “I’m sorry” became a part of our relationship. However, when it was said too often or without meaning, my mother would always say to me “What’s the point of apologizing if you’re not sorry? If you don’t regret your actions, and didn’t try to stop yourself? What’s the point of saying sorry if you’re going to do it again?”
She was right. She is right.
If said too often, it has no meaning.
If said not at all, it becomes a source of grief.
I find it hard to say “I’m sorry” for a reason - I only say it when I mean it. And that’s the way it should be.

Good point… but at first, I thought you were gonna make the "Chicago" connection… it is their song as well… but I probably should’ve asked this first… do you even know who Chicago is?!
