"I'm SO sorry" from time to time I really am. More often than NOT "sorry" is an automatic response when I have upset someone, raised an eyebrow, questioned a decision. But what makes "sorry" genuine? I wish I knew. I have multiple regrets and often feel bad about things I have done, but am I really SORRY? I wonder if I proclaim this to keep others happy? But am I happy? How can I be happy without being sorry? I wish I had the answer to that.
Happiness comes from within. No one can make me genuinely happy. How about genuinely sorry? I can experience happiness with another person, but they can’t make me happy. And if I am sad or mad or angry or anxious or pissy it’s because I choose to be. No one can make me angry. But can anyone really make you sorry? I make the choice to react to a fact or situation with anger. Now, there’s nothing wrong with anger, unless I unleash it on someone else, but emotions of all flavors and forms are at their best when we take responsibility for them, observe them, feel them. And then release them. I feel like releasing SO many of these lately. I must remember to make them mine and direct them rightfully.....
