One day, I realized that I was saying sorry all wrong.
Rather than embracing both things, I would apologize.
Sorry for breathing, sorry for having an opinion, sorry for being the way that I am.

And then one day it hit me, this is not a way to live.
I dont owe anyone an apology for being here, there, or anywhere.
News flash: neither do you.
Not Thinking Something Is Funny
Laughter should always be genuine.
Why do we laugh at bad jokes that arent bad in a good way?
I am not sure, but I can tell you that I dont anymore.

If I dont get it, I dont laugh and it feels great.
I have worked to train myself to simply move past the moment.
I do not need to apologize for something that is not my error.
I for one am not sorry half the time when I feel an urge to apologize.
I make a run at only say sorry when I mean it.
Bad Behavior Of Other People
If someone is rude, why am I sorry?
I am not responsible for their life decisions.
How can I be sorry for someone elses actions or lack thereof.
It made no sense to me so I have decided to stop.
I can only be accountable for me after all.
I love my style and enjoy experimenting with it.
For that, I owe not one person an apology.
Not Being Into Pets
#NotSorry.
You get the point.
They dont say sorry.
I like my home pet-free.
I have tried to force myself to like pets, but I just dont and I wont pretend anymore.
Its perfectly normal to not know everything and asking for help is how we learn.
No need to apologize for wanting to develop.
Not Cleaning All The Time
I think a lot of people do this.
Well, at least I used to.
Now I just say yes or no if I thinking stopping over is a good idea.
I cant clean every day and live the life that I do.
I have a right to privacy.
Plus, boundaries are essential.
No need to apologize for necessities.
If I do well, I do well.
No need to shame me for that or for me to hide my accomplishments.
I am telling the truth.
How can I apologize for that when they asked for it?
I dont have to be a jerk to be honest and I definitely wont apologize for honesty either.
Eating What I Want
Free will, yo.
I dont know why I would apologize for eating things that I paid for to put into my body.
eats the damn thing
14.
I didnt like that, so I stopped.
Now I just do the thing in silence (or with headphones) and its cool.
I am proud of myself when I believe in something enough to stand my ground for it.
It should make me proud, not want to apologize.
I saw your message and didnt respond.
Why should I have to succumb to the pressure of immediate responses?
I believe in breathing and I dont think anyone needs to apologize for that.
Taking Some Me Time
I need space.
This is not grounds for an apology.
This is a testament of our anatomy.
Pauses are so healthy and essential.
The apology for it?
Using My Money For Things I Enjoy Too
I dont just work to pay bills.
Why should I hide my new watch, nice dress, and/or new accessories?
I budget and spend when I can.
The Upgrade
In line with the spending of my money.
Upgrading my phone, laptop, camera, etc.?
I dont see why I need to say sorry for that.
If it needed to be done…It will be done.
Having A Good Time
Life is short as is.
I dont want to spend it being miserable.
I can enjoy my life and be present in the moments.
I dont need to check my phone every 8 seconds or be at anyones beck and call.
I can have a good time.
Binging On TV/Social Media
Not.
Sometimes, taking time for me to me means shutting off.
It means forgetting about the world and tuning into the television, and that is OK.
22.
If I want to work out, I work out.
If I dont, I dont.
My body, my call.
Eating A Lot
When I want to eat, by golly, I eat.
I have some crumbs left on the plate though if youre interested.
belch whoops.
My Morals
My morals are my beliefs and my boundaries married together to make me.
I can wear as much or as little as I desire.
It is not up to anyone else how I present myself.
Being Stressed Out
My stress is mine to experience, to feel, and to deal with.
Talking A Lot/Too Little
If I am comfortable, I will share.
If I am not, I wont.
If someone doesnt want to listen, they can excuse themselves.
If they do, they can ask.
No need for apologizing here.
Double Posting On The Internet
My social media, my decisions.
If I post twice, I can.
If I dont post at all, I also can.
Plus, who would I apologize to for this, really?
Being Busy
Sometimes, people in my life want to hang out with me and I have plans.
I dont need to apologize for that.
We are adults, we can plan another time.
Itll work out, no need for guilt.
If I want to try, I should.
Life is so short and limited edition.
Seriously, we only get one shot.
Why are we trying to spend it being sorry all the time?
Changing My Mind
We are people.
People change, minds included.
It happens, it should happen, and when it happens, I dont need to always be sorry.
Sometimes, its for the best.
Sometimes, it leads to a learning opportunity.
Either way, I should simply own my decisions and what comes along with it.
Someone Elses Bad Mood
Not.
I can be happy.
I am not responsible for anyones sadness.
I can sympathize, but it should not be expected that I rescind my happiness in response.
Being Happy
My happiness is a gift to me, as it would be to anyone else.
I have no need to say sorry for being happy.
Smile instead, and live your life.
