Apologies aren't words.
Apologies are knowing and feeling what you did was wrong.
Apologies aren't spoken because someone needs to hear the words.
Apologies are spoken to convey the regret of having caused pain or fear, apologies are spoken to explain your actions without excusing them.
Apologies are meant to lay bare your thoughts and feelings at the moment you offended; to make you own them, admit to them, and recognize that they were unacceptable.
Apologies are painful; if it's not, you're doing it wrong.
You can not give an apology without first searching yourself to know exactly why.
An apology should make you feel exposed; it should be raw and bleeding truth.
