I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for all the pain I put you through.
I'm sorry for not thinking you were enough.
I'm sorry for not letting you be you.
I'm sorry for letting people tell me what to think of you.
I'm sorry for giving you to people who didn't deserve or respect you.
I'm sorry for hurting you and leaving scars on you that you didn't deserve.
I'm sorry for all the things I said and thought about you.
I'm sorry for trying to change every little thing about you because I wasn't happy.
I'm sorry it took this path and this long to get to the part where I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry about how far we've come.
I'm not sorry I'm finally happy with who I am.
I'm not sorry I stopped letting other people make the final call on what you look like or think.
I'm not sorry we cut toxic people out of our lives.
But most of all I'm not sorry for who we're becoming and where we're headed.
We'll continue to grow and this time I'll allow it to happen instead of holding it back.
Because now I love you, my body and mind, more than ever before.
-m.j.
