I apologize for harsh reactions and harder words.

I apologize for my expectations being unrealistic. For asking to be put first when really everyone should put themselves first. Me included.

I apologize for being a creep.

I apologize for my shortcomings as a man.

I apologize for being a terrible nephew, son, friend, partner.

I know loving me can’t be easy. I barely know how to do it myself most days.

Stay up.
