Growing up, I frequently found solace in Elton John's haunting ballad, "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word." Interestingly, I never struggled with offering apologies myself—at least, not back then. My youthful heart was open, and saying "I’m sorry" felt natural.
As I journeyed through life, however, I began to witness the complexities of apology. I observed how both I and those around me grappled with the weight of unspoken words and unacknowledged pain. The simple act of saying "I'm sorry" can sometimes feel insurmountable, even as we yearn for recognition and closure from others.
With this realization, I invite us all to embrace the practice of forgiveness. Let us commit to healing—not just from the apologies we never received, but also from the heavy silence that often surrounds us. In doing so, we can pave the way for lighter hearts and deeper connections. May we all find a way to heal and grow from our shared experiences, even when words are left unspoken.
