don't apologize to me if you can't change what you're sorry for. saying sorry means nothing when the same thing keeps happening again and again. words are easy to say, but actions show the truth. i don't need empty apologies that only fix the moment and then repeat later. if you truly feel bad, let it show in how you speak and treat me after. real regret looks like effort, growth, and doing better next time. anyone can say sorry when they are caught, but not everyone chooses to change. so if nothing changes, then the apology was only for your comfort, not for my healing. changed behavior is the real sorry i believe.
