apologize

We all do things that we wish we could take back. We are human beings, not perfect beings. So when you have done something, you know it immediately, you feel it in your being, call the person, make amends immediately. Say I'm sorry I hurt you, offended you, upset you with my words and/or actions. Then forgive yourself and move on. When we know better, change your behavior and do better.

(Normalize apologizing after you were wrong, instead of being defensive and disrespectful because you're embarrassed.-@thebrinicole__)
